Acrylics and Laquers on Same Body

[McKB]

I'm going to be doing a new body that will have both acrylics and laquers on it.I was just curious as to which order i should spray them on ie. Laquers first. It will also have aclad Chrome so I'll have to back it with faskolor black.

You can spray lacquer on top of acrylics, but you have to be very very very careful. IMO, it's not worth chancing it, so, lay down your lacquers first.

Backing lacquers with acrylics is no problem at all. The two paints don't mix nor screw up the finish.

Final note, make sure you thoroughly clean out your brush when done using lacquers. Clean it again to be sure. When you mix the lacquers and acrylics, you creat a sludge that's a royal PITA to clean.
