Paint questions


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Hope all are well. Okay need some guidance in regard to paints and proper choices. Back 35-40 years ago when I was building car and truck models all I used was Testors (or Pactra) enamel paints. It's what I used because it was all I could get. Now I am back into the hobby and have been urged to use lacquers because Testors enamels have changed. So as I have been working on my projects I have chosen lacquers. I am going to be starting a KW W900 truck and have been told that you can't use lacquer over enamels. Is this accurate? My choice is Testors One Coat Inca Gold Lacquer (cab/hood) and Testors Dark Red enamel for the frame, drivetrain, fuel tanks. So not lacquer over enamel. However what kind of clear coat do I use? I have been using Valspar clear coat spray. Should I not use it on lacquer? Does it damage the lacquer? Could use any help thanks.

Jerry
