You will need more coats than just two. If not enough coats you will
cut through your finish to the wood and you will need to start all
over again.


Also, lacquer does not need to be sanded between coats. The coat being
applied partially dissolves into the coat below. That process, as well as
the fast drying time, allow you to spray many coats fairly quickly. I
usually wait about 30 minutes between coats. I put the spray gun in a
cool
place out of the sun while waiting and only clean it at the end of the
session.

Agreed, but IF you get trash in the finish, a light sanding will take care
of it. That's far better than adding layer after layer of laquer over the
trash.
