I have just used plast cote paint for the first time, I flatted the paint down so now it's dull, I was just wondering if you can laquer over theis type of paint or if you need to polish it to bring back the shine,
cheers

I would not bother yet as plasticote is high shine anyway, I would have a go at polishing back up with Compound Polish

You can lacquer over the top of PlastiKote. I used Plastikote spray on my SE Helmet followed by Plastikotes own lacquer.

nice lid, I might try that then cheers, it's weird the paint still feels like it would peel off easily if i scratched it, sort of wet, does it normally take days before it's fully set?

Paint can take days to fully harden, I have even baked bits in the oven before

As long as it dries eventualy that's cool, I better not go near the oven I'm already getting complaints about taking over the kitchen with bike parts and tools
but it is tempting

I painted the lid one weekend and lacquered it the weekend after. It felt a lot better then.
