Lacquer paint over Krylon Primer??

[BABAR]

Okay, so I've done my research. I know that it is risky to put lacquer paint over enamel. What I can't figure out is whether Krylon Primer (or Rustoleum for that matter) is Enamel or not? I ended up doing this (Testors One Coat Lacquer over Krylon Indoor/Outdoor Primer) with fear and trepidation (I had already put the Krylon Primer on before I went to the store and found the only color I liked was a lacquer.) After reading other posts here, it said you MAY get away with it IF you spray on multiple very light coats--- which I did and came out well.)

So did I "get away with something", or are the Krylon and Rustoleum stand primers okay for prep for both enamels and lacquers?

The Rustoleum grey filler primer I use (in the auto aisle) works fine under lacquers.

The Rustoleum "Clean Metal" primer does not work under lacquers, at least not reliably. I've had it crinkle like crazy. I've banned it from my rocket shop.

I also use the Valspar white interior exterior primer, which works fine but I hate the new twist lock nozzle.

I have occasionally used the Krylon white primer without incident under lacquer, but I find it doesn't cover well so I don't use it anymore. It dries fast, though...

thanks!

Grey Rustoleum filler primer is all I use. Prime, sand and paint. Works great every time.

I use Krylon primer on everything, and have covered it with everything - never had an issue. Just have to make sure you give it enough time to dry.
