as soon as its touch dry you can apply the laquer

make sure there in a warm temp as the cold will make the paint react, have you lacquered them yet?

like pepper993 said when its touch dry, they should be sprayed in a warm temp and lacquered about 5 minutes after or so so the lacquer can mix with the paint. give them 4-5 hours under warm temp before taking them outside so the lacquer can harden properly.

Lightly blow over em with a hair dryer then lacquer wait till touch dry then blow over lightly with a hair dryer.
