How to Buff Lacquer Paint
Lacquer paint is ideal for painting intricate wooden surfaces like furniture and some antiques because its low density helps to prevent unsightly brush marks in the final finish. However, it can look a little dull once it dries. Fortunately, you can easily bring out the gloss and sheen of a lacquer-painted surface by buffing it. If you plan to buff a surface coated with lacquer paint, you need to know the proper materials to use and the manner in which to employ them, or you may end up damaging the surface.

Tips & Warnings
You may use steel wool in lieu of pumice stone if none is available.
There is no need to dry the lacquer thinner from the surface; it will evaporate within minutes.
Too much lacquer thinner can remove lacquer paint. Don't over-apply lacquer thinner to the rag, or it may create faded areas on the final finish.
