If you want show quality than the new paints are the best and longest lasting.The shrinkage of lacqure products on fiberglass would a major problem and if I were going to spend $1000.00 on lacqure paint and primer anyway whats a little more for the best 2 part urethane paint available today. Paint has come a long way in the last 15 years. Show quality to me means sanded flat and polished as glossy as possible-in doing this the paint type isn't that big of a deal. I'm not sure what you want but a good shop can do anything you ask for with new urethane paints and the paint job will last 3 times longer and chip less than lacqure. The best part about lacqure was doing a nice looking job in your home garage. Hope that helps Brett
