OK seeing as the great traveler is still out and about, what lacquer does Larry use. He told me the name but old age has taken it's toll. All I got is Sherwin Williams.
Like Charlie, I've been using Target Coatings products for most of my finishing. Got started with them 10-12 years ago. I start with a coat of EM1000 sealer and sand it as needed. I always spray EM6000 Gloss to get the depth I want, then spray a final top coat of EM6000 Semi-Gloss or Satin, depending on the project...
Appears it is a west coast thing

Not sure how you figured that. Target is based in New Jersey, and of the three of us users that posted here, I'm in Ohio, Bill's in Georgia, and Charlie is in Texas. No West Coast involved.

The link that was posted showed only west coast dealers.
OK I will nose around again
Ok any problems spraying this stuff through an Earlex 5500? Any thing else I need to be told before I buy? Shelf life is how long?
According to Jeff Jewitt (in an article a few years back) waterborne finishes have a shelf life of 2 years or less. That said, I did keep some Target coatings stuff for well over 4 years (small amount in a glass jar) and it was actually still good after that time. I did throw it out, but it may be prudent to be cautious. Jeff's article is still available on FWW, if you subscribe. Target's products are excellent, but you are limited to 1 gallon cans (I think) and they can be expensive.
