Enamel or Lacquer?
I was going to order paint in a spray can that matches my '99 (Emerald Green Metallic) from Tower Paint and Decorating in order to paint some engine compartment items.
They sell spray Enamel ($14.95) and Lacquer ($19.95). Which is best?

Enamel paint is 99% of the time applied as a single stage paint.
Lacquer is usually done as a base-clear. Enamel degrades (fades, peels) much faster than urethane lacquer. lacquer all the way man.
