Where can i buy replacement lacquer for brass instruments?

Several spots on my brass instrument have lost the protective lacquer and to keep them clean I have to use brasso. What I would ideally like to do is give them spots a good clean and then cover it whith a spray/paint on lacquer.

I haven't actually used their stuff (yet), but am planning on putting some on my trumpet b/c I don't really like green hands (and it isn't worth the money it would cost to have it relaquered).

Also, if you search the forums on www.trumpetherald.com there are plenty of discussions on relaquering, replating, polishing, covering/polishing exposed brass, etc. It would be worth asking folks on there what to do. Good luck!
