Hi,
If you have clear lacquer you can already see what is under the lacquer, as 
far as seams and color of metal. I stripped the lacquer off a new brass horn 
once and the owner wanted to know why her horn didn`t look like her teacher`s 
unlacquered horn, because it was still all nice and shiny without the 
lacquer. Lacquer does not produce the finish of the horn. The metal is buffed 
to a high luster and then sprayed with clear lacquer to preserve that luster.
