    Lacquer paint saves weight for better mileage. Saves 6 lbs per vehicle. They were talking about it in 2008. Touch up Toyota paint sucks just as bad. I don't have time to apply 23 coats and hand buff. I thought about getting just a regular white of different paint just to fill chips and nicks. Wouldn't be as noticeable as a dirty lacquered spot.
