If you painted with Lacquer, you will find the new stuff much more forgiving and easier to use.
I like Matrix products because they have a website with all of the MDS sheets example;

Just follow the steps listed, do the work, you'll be fine.
Always wear a respirator. Lacquer was never a good thing to inhale, but the new stuff is worse. They are relatively cheap to buy, get used to them.
I always use one extra coat of clear, that allows room to wetsand and wheel the finish.
Guys that paint for a living can lay the clear down good enough, so it does not require wet sanding.
But for a DIYer, without a down draft paint booth, wet sanding is the next best thing.
