Thanks for the info. After doing a little more searching online, I'm pretty sure this Chromabase stuff is urethane. You're right in that the auto paint guy didn't seem too clear about what it was. I kept asking if it was acrylic and he kept saying "no, it's basecoat" and telling me I couldn't top it with lacquer. Or course, he could be just trying to sell me some of his proprietary Dupont topcoat which he mentioned would work.

I'll certainly do some testing on some scrap first, but I'm a little nervous about it to be honest. I like you're idea of misting it on first to build up a thin skin of it before going heavy.
