Can I use a lacquer clear coat over an acrylic enamel white coat? Or is there a better clear coat for that paint? I want as much gloss as possible.

@NoodlefulPowder No you cannot. Rule of thumb when painting with lacquers and enamels.

Enamel over Enamel = ok

Lacquer over Lacquer = ok

Enamel over Lacquer = ok

Lacquer over Enamel = NO

I actually knew that. But thank you for clearifying. What I'm actually concerned about is that I have a bicycle frame with a brand new factory paint job that I want to Lacquer over for a high gloss white. Now I've been told I'm best not to prime the surface, just rough it up. But if it's a slower drying enamel or urethane coat, I am thinking I will have to put a primer between the original paint after prepping it and my new Lacquer coats. Any suggestions?

@NoodlefulPowder You will need to scuff down the surface with 600 grit paper or use a Red Scotch pad. Degrease with PS100 Prep Spray, then prime then paint. Check out the forums for more detailed steps on painting.
