I so struggle with this, in Norway we have "lakk" for cars, and no matter what "lakk" it is, it is still "lakk". Here you have laquer, and you have paint, and you have coatings, and oh ... it makes me nuts, I have no idea about the difference. If it is any difference. I mean, we have many different kind of "lakk", but it is still "lakk", as a difference to "maling" as usually is for houses and wood. We differ by saying "cellulose lakk", or acryl lakk", or "waterbased lakk", or "alkyd lakk". Lol, life is not always easy. And then we have "regular lakk", and "metallic lakk". And "clear lakk".
