      As I stated earlier in the post "Painting the Festiva" (post #86, page 9), laquer has "bite" which can lift the present paint.

      I personally would go with an enamel. It's a LOT more forgiving when applied over multiple kinds of paint.

          Rustoleum FTW!

          Laquer has a better shine, but is softer than enamel. Go with the Rustoleum.

            That would be my choice for this particular application.

            IF the car had not been previously painted with "rattle cans" and had the original finish then laquer may work.

You get major Kudos in the "Git 'er Done" department! Just think of what you could do with the proper tools and equipment!
