What the f%@£k are you talking about.. Lacquer / clear coat.. Exactly the same thing, and has been since about 1985..
If you wanna talk about paint to me then crack on.. I've painted hundreds of vehicles and owned a bodyshop for more years than I care to remember.. I've painted from an Aston Martin DB5 worth £350k to articulated truck trailers and just about everything in between including classic collectable tractors to brand new cars.. I've painted in synthetic, cellulose, 2k, water based, you name it, I've painted in it..
The only changes in clear/laquer over the years has been the amount of solvent in it.. The manufacturer takes it out to get their solvent output down to look good to governments.. Then the painter puts it back in to make it flow.. Just like 2k paints were phased out in favour of water based.. To help government say they were reducing solvents.. But then you have to clear coat it..

SETTLE THE F88K Down Dude! - I was messing with ya - I know WTF paint is all about - I assumed you were talkin lacquer as a base coat to then clear coat over with polyurethane enamel, which is industry standard.......... Your resume is very impressive - I just don't care to pay people to do things I can do my own **** self and I don't ask people what firkin color should I paint my sh*t !
So settle down Betsy

Come on guys.....Play nice............... I know you were just jerking each others chain........All in fun
I got to paint some rooms in my house....I did buy a air brush gun and about $200.00 worth of Kustom Shop Automotive kandy paint. I was going to try my hand at painting some of my custom long range pistols.
You are talking a huge mess...........I got so mad I went and got a flat black spray can...........and said to heck with it
How you guys do it is above me......You have a natural gift just for creating works of pure art.

There is a guy on the Triumph Rocket Face Book page that has the Black metallic like my 2011 R3R and added pinstripes and it looks great.
