Paints and finishes

[wilfy]

so... it turns out it was acrylic i used previously and all i used to protect myself back then was a 3M mask as per the other thread.... is it really that bad that you should suit up and keep the clothes you used out of the way of the house??



it has all the warnings on the back about full body protection and wearing a certain niosh approved breathing mask.

if we put aside the safety issues... as far as spraying something as simple as a desk, now that i have this lacquer i'm pretty sure that aslong as there is something the resembles black beneath the lacquer i'll be able to get the finish i want for my desk.

questions though if i use this lacquer.. what paint can i use before it? could i for instance use of the shelf spray cans of primer and black and then blast over with this stuff straight away or will they react? also do i need thinners with the above paint? i've got a feeling its 1 part lacquer to 0.5 activator and 10% thinners.. can anyone confirm?

can anyone answer the above ?? hopefully i can use some cheap primer and black gloss spray cans i've found on ebay and then spray a few layers of the above stuff over the top and buff it back to make it glass like...
