What is the preferred finish over paint please - varnish or Lacquer?
N.....
What are you actually painting, what colour are you using, as I can't see any mention of either?
Also, there should be technical data printed on the label. If not, find the Company's website as that will provide you with the recommended finishing instructions for their product, and all the Health and Safety blurb.
When using the terms 'Varnish' and 'Lacquer', nearly everyone is going to be thinking of a clear shiny finish, but, it's always worth specifing exactly which type of what product you mean, to avoid any confusion when asking for assistance on a worldwide website. Different countries may have slightly different meanings for the same word and vice versa. (e.g. UK and USA where Jam = Jelly, but Jelly = Jello)
If you're going to have to use a clear 'household' finish (and this is a generalisation), there are usually 2 choices; Varnish, which will often yellow over a period of time; and Polyurethane which won't, however...
...some of the finishes also claim to be UV stable (with varying degrees of success), and they will nearly all fall into two groups - spirit-based or water-based - Always worth knowing with regard to clean-up, and to comply with some local authority regs.
Dont know the paint but to be on the safe side I would put varnish and NOT laquer on it,But as they are gloss paints why on earth would you want to put varnish or laquer over it

For reference, Rustoleum is one of International Paints brands, and they aren't all gloss.
