Finishing Question - Nitrocellulose and Cellulose paints

[JPJ]

I think I may have hit on a problem with my latest self-build.

I intended spraying the back and sides of the body using a black cellulose paint and then doing the maple top using a combination of stain and tinted nitro-cellulose lacquer. However, I've just remembered that the two are not really compatible are they?

I'm sure I've read somewhere that you can spray one over the other but I can't remember which way round is ok and which way is a non-starter. So is it cellulose over nitrocellulose or the other way?

I might be displaying the depth of my ignorance here, but I was under the impression that cellulose and nitro cellulose are alternative names for the same thing.

Cheers for that, turns out your correct

I emailed Rothko and Frost this morning via their website and received a reply in 10 minutes confirming that all is ok in terms of shooting nitrocellulose over cellulose. After sending my question, I also found some really useful information on their website regarding spraying, finishing and polishing here [url="http://www.rothkoandfrost.com/wood-finishes/"]http://www.rothkoandfrost.com/wood-finishes/[/url]
