Hey Raf, I am not aware of any definitive reference on the matter which is mostly an issue with non-catalyzed finishes.
I have some things I avoid like mixing lacquers and enamels. But even enamel over enamel can be an issue if the underlaying coat is not fully dry.
Some enamels can take a week to dry. This is why I use a faster drying urethane primer for almost everything I do.
With catalyzed paints it is like Matt says: Stick with a system sold by the distributors.

But if we have a chemistry guy in the forum that can discuss acrylic enamels, acrylic lacquers, acrylic urethanes, polyurethanes, polyester coatings, husker do's, husker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy dazzers (with or without the scooter stick), then I am all ears...
