Tamiya clear over testors paint.

Hi everyone, quick question, can I use tamiya ts13 over testor spray paint?

Not sure it's a good idea to mix Enamel and Lacquer.

im not sure but iv used tamiya paint with testors clear and it worked fine. my clear was lacuer and the paint was acrlic<lol cant think of what its called but u understand lol

Risky shot. Never put a lacquer/acrylic over an enamel.

I have used Testor clear over tamiya paint. Beside yellowing, no problem.
I also tried tamiya paint over testor clear (long story) I had about 3 hours of sanding work to remove the mess.

over Testers Enamal, no, your paint will look like crap, over Testers/Model Masters new laquer, you will get BEAutiful results, I used Tamiya Clear over Model Masters new laquers and they both worked great together, it's the best pre-polish paint job i've ever done

i wouldn't recommmend it. I tried it once and it seemed the paint turned out funky and runny.

They make lacquers now? The only one's I know of are the Metalizers.

Thanks guys for all your responses, I clear with the Ts13 over the testors and it melted and bubbled like there was no tomorrow so we all know now that this is a no no. I removed it and repainted. Lesson learned, boy I tell you do these lessons ever stop.
