Lacquer and enamel paint — these paints are different in chemical composition and different in the way they are applied and finished. After lacquer is applied it dries as the vehicle (thinner) evaporates to form the final paint coat. With enamel, the paint also dries as the thinner evaporates to form the paint coat. However, the enamel binder, having a different chemical composition, gradually oxidizes over a period of weeks to produce the final hard finish.
