Using a nitro colour coat with waterbased topcoat

[backwater]

Hi Folks,
I have almost finished cleaning my 78 precision up ready for painting and have a question. The body is sprayed with an acrylic (waterbased) sanding sealer.

I would like to respray the body in a transparent red finish and then clear lacquer on top of this. Unfortunately, I can only get the trans red finish in Nitro but I normally use a waterbased clear coat.

Are there any problems using :

Waterbased sealer then Nitro colour coat then Waterbased clear coat?

Or do I need to use a nitro clear coat on top of the nitro colour coat?

I've had a search around on the web and in the Stewart-McDonald refinishing book but couldn't find an answer.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Andy

Acrylic over nitro= OK

Nitro over acrlyic = bad.

Nitro lacquer or pure lacquer will be fine over your nitro base coat as would acrylic...

HOWEVER the nitro over the acrylic prep stage may not work. I'd test it on a test peice first IIWY.
