Default Paint compatibility

Anyone know the the compatibility of butyrate dope (Sig Supercoat in this case) and spray bombs such as Krylon, either over or under? My Spacewalker has red Supercoat dope on it and for the trim colors I was thinking of using Krylon or similar. I also might spray Krylon as a base coat on the cowling and then the red dope over that. The reason is, the Supercoat red dope doesn't cover worth a darn. I have 7 or 8 coats on the airframe already just to get decent covering. If I can find a close enough match with Krylon I'm hoping the red dope over that will be a close match to the red on the airframe. But I don't know if Krylon or similar can be applied over dope or vice versa.
