Nitro lacquer will go over almost anything as long as the finish underneath is completely dry. Of course you should try it in a small hidden spot first. An auto paint guy might be iffy on the subject because nitro lacquer hasnt been used as a standard automotive finish for quite awhile now. In auto paint verbage its called "straight" lacquer. The lacquers they sell now are acrylic lacquers.
An interesting note is that most all standard "touch up" paints available from auto parts stores are acrylic lacquer because they will go over most all types of auto paints. And they are sandable. Of course, unless the can says different. I know its that way for the Duplicolor brand. Thats a huge selection of colors!!
One trick to spray nitro over something tempermental is to barely haze the first coat and let it dry. Just enough so that the surface can still breath. Haze again and let it dry. After you do this a few times you can spray a normal coat.
Its a good idea to do it this way when finishing a headstock over a fresh waterslide logo. Ive buckled a couple logos by applying too heavy at first.
Blaze us a trail.
