I¹m not much of a gearhead but once I saw an unusual looking black painted
car and asked what was going on and someone said it was ³lacquered² I think
as if everybody knows about that. I recall he said the surface was delicate.
I do know that there's a big cult with car people about matt cars. They¹re
better for racing.

But the black on this lacquered or whatever car was really quite a look.
I¹ve seen it once or twice since.
Perhaps we should be asking car people about finishes.
The British! They¹re supposed to know the most about ³paint²! :)
