I've had lousy luck with Duplicolor white primer, just too thin for my liking. If you want a good white primer, try the Plastikote from Michael's Crafts. It withstands lacquers, it IS my white primer of choice right now.

The Tamiya primer should be good for almost anything, but try it on some scrap first. I do this quite often when I have doubts on something new.

I have never tried enamel primer under a lacquer paint, and certainly never lacquer over enamel in any shape or form, although some people get away with it, sometimes.

Don't confuse the Kustom Kolors paint with the real deal HOK (Black Gold) lacquers. Kustom Kolors is an enamel based product, if they have a primer in the rack that goes with the line of paint, use it. The HOK Black Gold line is lacquer based. I use Duplicolor primer (the big cans are a great value) under it and never have had a problem.

I'm a big advocate about getting people to switch to lacquers, which are almost all by now acrylic lacquers due to environmental regulations. It dries harder and faster than enamel, polishes out better (IMHO).

All automotive lacquer has been acrylic lacquer since the early sixties.Before that, nitrocellulose lacquer was used, but was very hard and prone to chipping and cracking.

Just a not of caution on the Duplicolor grey. If you go to heavy on later coats say a couple of weeks later it will react with itself and wrinkle up. I have had that happen many times.
