Lacquer is easier to get good results and looks better than enamel but is
practically unavailable now. Two problems often encountered with aerosol
sprays: the spray head on the cheaper products often does not spray a fan
pattern so smooth even application is difficult and aerosol spray paint is
soft and easily scuffed and scratched where the original was baked hard.
Powder paint on the other hand is baked hard at 400 degrees F though it does
require a somewhat skilled operator as an inexperienced hand often gets orange
peel or film thickness that is too thick.
