And.....what kind of thinner have I to use with the lacquer?? acetone?? water??
Thanks a lot for your help people..and sorry for be annoying!!!!

Ideally I would go with the Zero thinner.

This one.

But you can use the regular cellulose thinner that is also listed.The basecoat thinner is usually better quality and more suited to thinning top coats lacquers etc.Whereas the cellulose is more for thinning primers etc as it is usually less expensive and not as high quality.

All the thinners are listed on this page.

Don't use water though as the Zero stuff isn't water based and it will make a real mess if you thin it with water.

Jezz--looks great! Can I ask what you used for the smoke on the CF? Tamiya acrylic or enamel or some other brand? and the clear?

Looking great.The carbon parts came out very nicely and your body panels are beautifully finished.It should look fantastic when it is all assembled.
