This may be an odd question but I have a body that is ready to be detail painted. (read trim, moldings, etc.) I used Plasticote primer and Duplicolor paint. I have not cleared it yet. My two questions are, will the Testor's paint I have (enamels mostly) be ok to paint the details over the lacquer paint? Also will the Duplicolor clear harm the enamels after I give them time to cure? The body has been painted for about 3 months now so there should be no curing issues with the Duplicolor paint. Thanks in advance!

Clear the car first and then detail paint. The Testor's enamel will work great over the clear and if you make a mistake detailing, the enamel paint will clean of easily with a little Scratch X or any other rubbing compound or car wax. The clear over the enamel will ruin the detail paint.
