Was the lacquer described as ready to spray.  Many hvlp systems can only spray very thin material.  Be careful not to add too much powder to the thinned lacquer esp if you have a 1 mm or smaller tip.  If you are using an air based hvlp gun you need at least a 5 hp compressor.  If turbine at least a 3 stage 10 cfm output.  Use a viscosity cup to measure the thickness of the thinned lacquer before adding the powder.

I have never had good results with premixed bronzing paint.  I would order bronzing powder from Steinway or Wurdack and then find a suitable

metal lacquer and prepare a thin mixture in small batches for immediate use. Be sure to use a strainer filter to pour into your spray cup.

Bronzing liquids tend to clump if left too long after mixing.  Bty what is your spray equipment?
