When to use lacquer paint?
Lacquer paints are typically used to paint woodwork, such as window and door frames, and furniture. Lacquer paint produces a hard surface that is easy to wipe down, and is therefore perfect for mouldings on which bumps and other wear often occur. Freshly painted mouldings will be the icing on the cake in when renovating or freshening up your home!

Frequently asked questions about lacquer paint and woodwork primers
Must I apply primer to woodwork?
Wood that is untreated must be primed before you can apply lacquer paint. If the surface is already painted or has a glossy surface, you first need to sand down the surface.
Can I paint directly on lacquer paint?
Before you start painting, you should sand down the lacquered surface with fine sanding paper and the apply primer to make the lacquer paint adhere better.
