Zero Paints from Hiroboy

[Sixx]

I just got my first order from Hiroboy! what a true professional with packaging, shipping and overall customer service! And fast by the way!

My questions are:

I normally use Urethane clear to clear, since these are acrylic paints, is it safe to clear over an acrylic with a urethane? or do I have to use acrylic clear? or possibly a laquer clear like Tamiya will do?

I'm not use to using Acrylic paints and I don't want to ruin a paint job out of ignorance.

Urethane clear is just fine over Zero paints. Hiroboy also offers his own set of 2K-clear to use on top of the base coats.

From Steve's site:

As mentioned earlier, the basecoat colours will dry with a Matt finish therefore MUST be clearcoated. For the ultimate shine and colour depth Zero 2K (2 pack) High Solid Acrylic Clearcoat is recommended. The following Clearcoats have also been tested without any issues: Tamiya TS13, Mr Hobby range (Mr Top Gloss etc), Halfords Lacquer, Automotive Lacquer.

I believe Zero paints are acrylic lacquer, not aqueous. They are not water based, and should no be treated as such.
