Default RE: SOLARTEX Covering (Latex Paint)

3 days after the application of the acrylic lacquer, I went out flying the plane on Sunday, all seemed ok, but after a day in the sun, the acrylic lacquer became sticky and I was not able to clean it out from the oil residue, since it became all sticky and seemed not wanting to dry (from the temperature and the humidity).

So far I have not had good luck with, the paint job since it became dirty and I just could not clean it out.

I am rethinking of repainting the whole plane with a good primer. (rustoleum for the primer and paint, and on clear coat of oil based helmsman clear utherane.  that should fuel proof it.

What do you guys thing? 

1- Can I just repaint the whole plane on top of the paint job and the arcylic lacquer ? (using a good primer first)

2- Will I need to sand the plane first?

regards,
 or will I need to recover it before repainting?
