I am fond of these, including the finish. They actually sound excellent, to my ears. The good thing about nitro lacquer is, if you mess up, all you need is to sand any orange peel off and try again. The other thing is the method you use to spray, needs to be enough to keep the coat completely wet on each section you shoot, and to aim the can or gun in such a way, that the overspray will not land on the adjacent surfaces that were just sprayed before them because lacquer flashes quickly. If you use an HVLP sprayer, you can add retarder to it to keep it from flashing quite as quickly so it levels better, and then all you have to do is that no matter what, stop as soon as you get it wet, regardless of the results. In other words, don't try and fix it on that coat or you will get a sag or run and those are harder to sand out and fix.
Finally, once lacquer is fully cured, you can sand and buff it like auto finishes, or you can mix up a flash coat with about 4 parts thinner/one part product, and hot coat it for the final smooth gloss coat.
If you don't spray frequently, practice on cardboard or scraps first, which I do regardless.
Another great finish is French polish using shellac. The below is French polish over cherry.
