When I say a little goes a long way, I mean a little. I do one pass, starting away from the dial and ending away from the dial so the dial gets an even coat. Then I cover it so that dust doesn't get on it while it dries. The gloss seems to self-level so it's smooth when it dries. This really only works when a dial looks good when it's "wet". If it looks crappy when wet, then it's better to just get it refinished.HandyDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083270175066343104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855696413978429801.post-5235103783211172942014-09-06T11:20:55.455-07:002014-09-06T11:20:55.455-07:00Dan, how do you keep the spray lacquer from leavin...Dan, how do you keep the spray lacquer from leaving a "spray" texture? Are you getting a smooth finish? What brand are you using? Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
