Sprayed up my bumper inserts and grill, let them dry and laquered yesterday, Mum left ther garage open so alot of cold air wouldve been getting in, the laquer has now dried but looks really dull in some areas, will this mean I need to respray or can I just re-laquer?Thanks

When the lacquer goes cloudy/milky its too cold, heat the tin of lacquer with a heat gun before you use it and it will go on nice and clear.
