No worries, Nick. I'm using automotive acrylic laquer. Until last year, a member here sold it under the brand name CobraColors- but he shut down in October. (I send Leon whiney emails occasionaly begging him to come back, but no luck as yet.
) After I learned to use it I've found acrylic laquer to be very forgiving and flexible. It can be sanded an hour or two after being sprayed, and it doesn't seem to matter how long after the first coats the final coat is applied- my current record is five months. If you're willing to put in the patince to fix every last flaw it's an ideal medium.
I don't know of a good source for it now. It can be had
here for about $20 for 2 ounces or $40 for a pint. I can do a 1/24 body with about an ounce (and two ish ounces of compatable reducer). Sooner or later I'm going to order a pint of white, but I don't know that I'll use that much of any other color.
