Cool. So you can throw nitro over acrylic enamel and it doesn't react? Nice to know!
Not so fast…… No you cannot spray Nitro over acrylic.. unless you give the acrylic plenty of time to allow all the solvents to evaporate… a couple of weeks works … then begin the nitro with very thin mist coats, allowing it to build up, then allow that to dry about a week before gambling with the first of many wet coats….

Few realize that most of those beautiful 60’s Fenders with the custom colors were DuPont Duco Clear (nitro) over DuPont Lucite (acrylic) color coats….
