Well - yes and no. Lacquer will burn into itself, but that is best relied
upon when the stuff is in flash, and not after a full dry. Since the OP
waited until the coats were dry to apply the next coat, I would at least
scruff it. There is a risk of edge lifting when applying over dry coats.

Respectfully disagree based on my own experiences and Deft's
documentation:

How would scuffing a fully cured nitrocellulose lacquer surface change
the way the next coat interfaces with the existing coat?
