1. Can I use this without primer - i.e.: as a primer itself?
2. Can I use another lacquer as a top coat over this stuff?
3. Can I use an enamel as a top coat over lacquer?
4. Can I sandwich an enamel between 2 layers of lacquer?
5. What do I buff this stuff with? Newspaper? An old t-shirt? A bristle brush from a shoe-shine kit?
I'm building a P-61 Black Widow, and it's BIG, so I decided to save some money and buy spray cans instead of bottles.
My original plan was to prime it with silver/aluminum, cover that with a coat of zinc yellow, then spray the satin black over that, using salt weathering to show the yellow under the black, and the silver under the yellow.
Unfortunately, Hobby Lobby has a pretty limited selection, and the only thing close to a zinc yellow they have is an enamel.
I didn't buy that one, because I decided to try my hand at this buffing metalizer stuff, which I've never used before, and I don't know if I can spray enamel over lacquer.
As a rule, I don't mix mediums, but Hobby Lobby doesn't seem to want to give me a choice anymore.
If you guys think I can safely do lacquer/enamel/lacquer, I'll go back and get it.
If not, I'll just do black over silver and skip the yellow.
