I sprayed some engine parts with Duplicoor flat black out of a spray can. Then I tried to touch up with Tamiya flat black brush paint and when it dries it has white stains(for lack of a better word).

Could be some sort of reaction between the 2 brands/types of paint.

You should have sprayed a little of the black into the cap and used a small brush for touchup... you know, use the same paint that you sprayed with. That's how I do it.

I don't think acrylic is going to react with Krylon.....Krylon over Tamiya...yep...

You mention white...I wonder if the tamiya didn't cover the plastic?

I tried like Harry mentioned and no problem.Well small problem,the Duplicolor I sprayed into a plastic cup melted the cup! So I guess the Duplicolor is to hot for Tamiya to go over.

The white marks looked like frost not so much the plastic. Sort of like I hit the paint with thinner.

Sorry Greg I said Krylon and the mind said duplicolor....still the answer is the same you can put just about any paint over lacquer when dry. I also clear lacquers over acrylics w/o problems...I'm still curious.

PS...next time just spray a bit in its cap....

Harry said that too,Unfortunately I somehow always end up learning the hard way!
