I have a question for you painters out there like Randy and Mark or anyone else with expertise in painting.

Shimrin Graphic Color by HOK is a basecoat paint it says in the directions to cover this paint with Acrylic
Lacquer or Urethane Enamel Clears.

My question is can i use this paint and cover it with Randolph Clear?

Thank You Guys

I believe that Shimrin is available in Acrylic lacquer and in a urethane style basecoat,,
I would be hesitant to use Randolphs over it unless it is a lacquer product,, and then I would still want to do a test panel,,

Hi Mark,

I have been all over HOK's web site several times trying to find it in Acrylic Lacquer with no luck........

hmm I just went and looked,, they no longer list,, at least in an obvious place,, the acrylic urethane,, but the basecoat may be  viable under acrylic lacquer,, I just am not sure..
the question was about topcoating with Randolphs,, it appeared he already had info that you can topcoat with AC

also keep in mind, many of the Shimrin colors are actually a metallica or pearl base with candy over them. typically the base metallic or pearl is very translucent,, and requires a blocking coat of a similar straight pigment color, or you will be spraying MANY coats for coverage.  although white can be ok some times,, though striping would be a concern since the color is so transparant,,
