Metal and Auto Parts
Lacquer paint is very common in auto accessories and other metal pieces. It forms a strong bond and is durable. Cast models can be painted with a lacquer spray. These are required easier to work with and won't require as much work.
Wood and Furniture
Lacquer spray can be used wood and furniture. If the piece is large you may want to purchase lacquer in a can. This requires more work and preparation. Paints are painted in ventilated areas very carefully. Lacquer has specifically designed for furniture. It's usually not as heat resistant as the metal lacquers are, but are much easier to get to adhere to the wood.
Gloss Level
Lacquer paints can be visible in low mattee as well as in High Gloss finish.
High Gloss paints will look great in on car parts and on some furniture. The low matte will look less like a traditional lacquer finish but still gives the advantage of durability and strength.
Any good alcohol or lacquer based sealer will work. I use shellac if I'm staining and Kilz if I'm painting.
No. You can use lacquer on oil too. Varnish will work well with oil stain as do any of the wax finishes
Lacquer-work is a highly skilled decorative art in which the artist shapes the wood using a hand operated lathe. Then several colors of lac are applied, design is then incised with sharp tools exposing the colors of the underlying layers.
The work that you refer to is a print made after the painting, as the painting is unlocated. Visit the following website for more information on the work as well as a key for "Authors of the United States": http://www.wjfc.org/picture.html The print in question is a focus of a chapter in my forthcoming dissertation on Hicks.
It may or may not be effective. Traditional lacquer is a nitrocellulose-based coating. Thinners for nitrocellulose include acetone and ethanol (drinking alcohol). Most nail polishes are nitrocellulose lacquers, and that's why acetone is used as a nail polish remover.In general, the rule for thinners is that you need to use the thinner that was originally used to make the coating, or which is sold to be a thinner for the coating. If what's on your brushes isn't lacquer, lacquer thinner may not work as well as a thinner designed for the coating, and it may not work at all.If you already have lacquer thinner somewhere, or some nail polish remover, why not try a little bit to see if it works?
Lacquer is applied to sheet metal work primarily to protect the surface from corrosion and environmental damage. It creates a barrier that prevents moisture, chemicals, and other contaminants from reaching the metal. Additionally, lacquer enhances the aesthetic appearance of the metal by providing a smooth, glossy finish, and can also improve durability against scratches and wear. Overall, it extends the lifespan of the metal while maintaining its visual appeal.

You can add water since glue is soluble while metal is not.That may work, provided that the glues'solvent' is water. -It won't work if the glue is petroleum based and needs acetone, lacquer thinner or other solvents.
spray polyurethane is best, but lacquer will work as well, it is cheaper and dries in an hour versus 24-48, but you should apply multiple layers. 3 layers with poly, 6-10 with lacquer
regular painting extends life span of steel/metal product by reducing exposure to oxidizing (rusting). there are specific paints manufactured for prevention of oxidizing, these usually contain zinc or oxides. preperation prior to painting is the key to effectiveness of the painting. a well prepared surface will result in the paited finish lasting significantly longer
There are several different types of Lacquer available. As they work and weigh very differently this question in not answerable
To remove epoxy phenolic lacquer from tinplate sheets, you can try using a mixture of solvents like methylene chloride or acetone. These solvents help break down the lacquer for easier removal. It's recommended to wear protective gloves and work in a well-ventilated area when using these chemicals.
Yes, you can spray clear lacquer over Sharpie on wood, but it's important to allow the Sharpie to dry completely first to prevent smudging. Test the lacquer on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility, as some solvents in the lacquer may cause the ink to run. Apply the lacquer in light, even coats to achieve a smooth finish. Always work in a well-ventilated area and follow safety guidelines.
No. You can use lacquer on oil too. Varnish will work well with oil stain as do any of the wax finishes
Probably, but it would work best if you sand the furniture first...

Work - painting - was created in 1865.
