   Although it isn't recommended, I've been spraying Deft with nice results. Parks lacquer is still widely available. Sherwin Williams has a professional coatings division.

   Spraying lacquer

   Do you thin the Deft lacquer?  Are you spraying with a HVLP gun?

   Is this for a Guitar body ?

   Also you can go with a gloss and rub it to satin -

   No, this is for furniture and house trim.  I would go with a high gloss on a guitar body.

   Lacquer

   For furniture and trim I can't add anything more then Hammer supplied to you for products -

   Most lacquer finishes require thinning.  It's a balance between nozzel size, air pressure, and fluid feed.  You may want to pick up some retarder - it will give you the ability to brush lacquer on interior trim.

   I use an HVLP conversion gun, DeVilbiss Finishline with a #3 HVLP air cap. Most of the professional lacquers come ready to spray, I use Deft straight from the can, too.
