What type of lacquer do you spray and where do you get it?

[RichardGreaves]

I'm about to wrap up a desk build soon and would like to try spraying lacquer (with my new Earlex 5500) for the finish.  Marc has recommended the Sherwin-Williams CAB-Acrylic but I can't find that locally.  I'm having a hard time finding sprayable lacquer so want to ask anyone that spray's lacquer, What brand do you use and where you get it?

I used chemcraft precat lacquer. Great product, but I went back to water based to avoid the fumes and clean up required.

@Mike,

 

Thanks for the tip re SW.  The Product Coatings outlet we have here in MA is about an hour from me.  I called yesterday and took a drive up this morning.  It's further then I wanted to go but I now have a gallon of CAB-Acrylic to spray this weekend.  After I get some experience and know more of what I want, I may give Camger a try, they are much closer.  

 

BTW I am impressed that you found Camger via a search.  You must have some excellent google skills.

I generally shoot straight piano lacquer for decorative items or cat-lacquer for items needing protection. For bathroom vanities and kitchen cabinets, I shoot conv-varnish.

 

I only shoot low-VOC 550-compliant solvent-based.

 

I order factory direct. Prior to that arrangement, my local paint store would order it in.
