Paint question

#1
OK, not Jeep related, but it may help someone ;)

I have to repaint the hood, roof and trunk on my wifes altima because of clearcoat issues. I have painted before but never really worked with clear coat. I am going to use a company that sells paint already premixed. The base is Urethane, but for clear coat they offer a two part urethane, and an acrylic lacquer that is also premixed.

My question is can i put the acrylic lacquer over the urethane base, or does it have to match and be urethane also? It doesnt really say on their site, and they have both kinds of clear coat offered as if it was fine. But i want to make sure before i ordered.

thanks

I never mix. Urethane over urethane. My logic is that the similar coatings will bond better and be compatible. Of course I am a backyard painter. I figure for a little $ I will take every extra step I can to not have to do it twice.
