dupicolor automotive spray and tamiya spray
hi guys. are these two paints compatible? i was planning on using tamiya as a base coat then going over it with the dupicolor, and then using tamiya's clear coat on top. have any of you tried this without any problems?

i don't think it should be a problem...
the tamiya is a synthetic lacquer, the duplicolor is a regular lacquer.... lacquer over a synthetic lacquer should be ok... but as always, you might want to test on a scrap piece first and see what happens.. oh.. and wear a respirator

I don't mix brands normally, but it could work. You just need to test whatever you're doing on a scrap piece of plastic first.

also
put the base coat on and then let it cure like maybe a week or longer so the gases have enough time to escape before u put the next coat then do the same for the top coat and then the clear..

Duplicolor paint is acrylic, and the only thing it goes over is acrylic paint. So I would expect it to be quie bad when trying o go over Tamiya spraypaint.
