Tony Harrison Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 You won't need lacquer if you use gloss paint. But when you do the bolts up, the allen key will probably mark the paintwork anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just polish it nice 'n silver 'n shiney and it will look better than any paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
