Why??
It chips easily. Solvents affect it, fades and need polishing a
lot.
YOu wouldn’t buy a new car with it.
Why not 2 pack , it doesn’t have to be a clear over base?
Done properly you can’t tell the difference.–

I am sure you have your reasons for seeking lacquer, and generally
speaking I detest posters who try to answer another question than
the one asked , but I have painted my XK120 with genuine lacquer in
the past, and as Ed has said, there are a lot of disadvantages.
I would never do it again.

Have to agree with Ed and Karl.
A LONG time ago a painter friend talked me into doing
lacquer on an XK-E repaint.
We painted, sanded, painted, sanded, painted, sanded…etc
for a week.
I will admit it looked fabulous when done in Plum Crazy, a
violet/purple.
The shine lasted maybe 3 years, 4 at the most.
Paint has come a long way since the '70’s.–
