Both Enamel %26amp; Lacquer are pretty well obsolete in automotive refinish. The modern basecoat / clearcoat system uses a few different types of resins.
Base Coat - Usually urethane based but sometimes polyester (depending on the manufacturer, BASF is polyester most others are urethane)
Clear Coat - 100% urethane
Base coat is somewhat like a lacquer in the sense that is can dry by means of solvent evaporation but it is not what most would consider a true lacquer paint.What are auto paints made of? Lacquer or enamel?
NOT ALL AUTO PAINTS are made of laquer at all man. check your facts.

not sure... we used auto paint at university.
i had a caf stool project, and i used it on metal and wood....
it sets extremely hard and is supposed to be scratch proof once glazed, there was a glaze to finish that we used like a varnish over the colour.
i used them on wood and metal projects....
i used a seal first then layers of carefully applied paint.
Above answer is completely wrong. All AUTO paints are made of laquer. If you want to airbrush metal, use auto paint. Enamel takes a bit longer to dry.
Most are enamel.
