Can you paint lacquer over lacquer?
if you are going do this on a car you must ensure that you key up the surface to be lacquered over.you could use 1500 grit and wet flat all the area or if the surface is smooth enough you could just scotch brite the surface with a grey scotch brite and soapy water.you must be careful when doing this that you do not break through the lacquer you are sanding because this will show through when lacquered
What does flashing mean in house painting?
The color is uniform, but the sheen isn't consistent. This usually occurs over the holes and cracks you patched with a filler or drywall compound. The porous fillers absorb the paint, dulling the surface (a problem called "flashing").
Every time wet paint is applied over dry paint, it makes those areas have an EXTRA coat on them and the gloss level rises in those spots. This is known as "lapping" to me.
Flashing may occur over drywall or plaster patches where the wrong or zero primer was applied. We like a low-mid grade "dead flat" ceiling paint for priming patches.
MOST of my experience is that textured walls are the EASIEST to NOT have the flashing problem. Smooth drywall with ANY sheen to the paint is MUCH worse/harder to obtain a 'flash free' look.
A heavy coat with a thicker nap roller should do it, but don't blame me if it doesn't. Like I said earlier, the only way to be 99% sure is to prime the entire wall with the proper primer first.
I had a ceiling we did recently with a single coat knockdown on it. I primed it thoroughly and did one finish coat. When it was done, you could see what looked like sprayer tracks/lap marks. Upon further investigation it became clear that what was showing were flat spots in the texture where it was knocked down. You could literally see every stroke that was made when knocking down the ceiling, and no amount of paint would fix it.Now, for flashing. This is usually when the sheen is flat, dull, or too glossy in some spots. This is hardly EVER a problem on textured walls because the light and shadow along the texture hides the flashing.

It depends on the paint and on the surface that is being painted - its pre-treatment, porosity etc.
How does an electrostatic spray gun work?
An electrostatic spray gun operates with an electrical charge. A wire is connected to the part being sprayed, and an electrical charge is applied. The gun has an opposite charge. When the material is sprayed it is attracted to the part because of the charges.
have you tried Nail Varnish Remover? that seems to do the trick with everything else...
i have done it many times . the instructions say that the ambient temperature should be above 60 degrees f. also in a well ventilated area.
Yes. If the paint is faded and oxidized, it might be worth a try cutting and polishing a patch and seeing how it comes up . The paint just under the surface may be sound. I have cut and buffed some sorry looking cars (red ones especially) and their owners have been stunned by the result. If you opt to paint it , wet sand it with 400-600 grit, but before you start, wash and dry the car , and use wax&grease remover twice over. This will prevent scrubbing contaminants into the underlying paint. Do it again before painting. Removing wax and silicone contamination prevents cratering or "fish eyes". Areas such as the roof should be well examined for sun damage such as crazing(a fine pattern of cracks ) such areas must be stripped back to the original primer, and then reprimed.

Will a 6kva generator run a 3hp compressor?
In Australia @ 240v NO.
Well not from a 6.5Kva scorpion 10hp diesel gen. 100% overload short term, don't think so. 6.5Kva is about 5000w. 3hp compressor near full load is just over 4000w. But needs around 10,000 12,000 watts to start, maybe even more in certain conditions.
It may start with a quality genset of same size but I would doubt it.

What is the thickness of a coat of paint measured in?
Most household paints are measured in Mils. One mi is about the thickness of a page from the phone book (Remember those?).

Could Gasoline or transmission fluid clean oxidized paint job?
Gasoline or Transmission Fluid will clean the paint right OFF your car, that is, it will TAKE THE PAINT OFF. Do NOT use Gasoline, Transmission Fluid, Brake Fluid, or in fact, any sort of harsh solvent, as this will strip the paint, whether or not it's oxidized. I would recommend taking it to a body shop or someone who knows body work.
look into the cowl panel grills on the drivers side. you should see a metal plate about 3x4 inches. near the bottom you will see several 3 numbered codes. The 3 digit code that begins with P is the primary paint code ex: PW7 (that is a Chrysler white used during that year) and the secondary code is represented with a Q ex: QM4 (that is a marron color that was used back then. either way, the real paint code is the two digit number (W7) or (M4) the P or the Q denotes primary or secondary. it the car/truck has only one body color, the P and the Q codes will be the same. ex: PW7 QW7 . hope that helps
