CC clear over Zero Paints color

[willimo]

I do know (from reading other threads) that the Zero Paints sold at Hiroboy's site, and Cobra Colors paints are both compatible with the same thinner. What I'm wondering now is if Cobra Colors clear is compatible with Zero Paints. It seems like Zero Paints are a little less rough - they can be painted over Tamiya primer without issue - so it makes me wonder if using a (in my experience) hotter clear will cause reaction? It's my understanding, possibly erroneous, that they are both automotive lacquers, and as such, should be formulated similarly. So it seems like it'd work, but I'm kind of a paint moron, so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks.

No, its a good question, because I also like to mix different brands of paint, such as a Tamiya Primer, a Cobra Colors color coat, and then Tamiya Lacquer or whatever.

I used an auto clear from my local auto supply store (U-Pol was the brand) over the Zero colours on my recent Mitsubishi Lancer build and it didn't react at all with the paints.

Usually solvent based automotive industry paints are nearly the same, I've combined a lot of times glasurit, PPG, Sikkens and Dupont products with no problem at all.

You could make some test to check if you'll have any problem, but I would say that they will be 100% compatible.
