Sounds like irregular places near what you used the lacquer on. try something more aggressive, maybe on a a Q-tip to keep the liquid out of where you want the lacquer to be..

On a side note to this I have used plain ole crayons to fill in letters and so forth on guns. I have some on Ruger pistols that was done in the 70's and it;s still fine. Just use spray carb cleaner first to make sure no oil or anything is where you want to fill in. Like above a Q-tip will work. Rub to fill then put a piece of t-shirt on a smooth piece of wooden dowel and rub to over the letters or numbers that I have filled, removing any excess.
