This is easy and I get asked this a lot...  Lacquer Primer is a 1K primer meaning it does not take a hardener.  It can always be retarded with lacquer thinner.  
2K stand for 2 komponents meaning a primer with the activator.  There are 4 different types of 2k primers, self etch, epoxy, Urethane, and now a new hybrid which is a Urethane DTM (direct to metal).  Later I will post the features, advantages and benefits of each when I have more time.  Hope this helps.
