What is the pros and cons of spraying Acrylic Enamel Auto Paint vs Acrylic Lacquer Auto Paint? What is the main differences between the two?

:corn:AE covers in 2 to 3 coats, lasts a long time..
AE sprays heavier, more prone to runs if not careful. get streaks in metalic if not sprayed right.

AL needs lots of coats to cover, dries fast. easy to use, hard to find nowdays because of EPA rules...

Enamel paints won't soften back up after cured, where as laquer will soften up and even wash off with harsh solvents. (including gas)
