"Lacquers go on best when the temperature is between 70 and 80 degrees F. It can be used in temperatures as low as 60 degrees F, but warmer is better...to a point. If the temperature is 90 or higher, the product starts drying before it all hits the object being sprayed."

If the temperature is on the warm side, don't spray lacquer in direct sunlight. It will cause bubbles from outgassing and it's a job to sand out. Been there done that.
