I do not agre with the comments made in post 46. I frequently paint lacquer over non-catalyzed polycrillic and polyurethane. As I said, spraying lacquer over latex is an iffy proposition.
I looked up a definition for "AU paints" and came up empty.
As with all comments made on these forums, we have to be careful about what to believe, and what is bs.
This thread is a prime example, as there are conflicting statements being made.
With paint, being safe rather than sorry is the way to go. I suggest that anyone that reads something that they like in this thread, do careful test panels before proceeding to the airframe.
Making a mistake can lead to acdii's "wrinkle finish".
