I agree completely (also "carplan" clear lacquer works) although I will just say that I have had 2 occasions where the application of a solvent based lacquer onto a water based paint (even when dry) caused the paint to "crack & wrinkle" and have a crazed type effect. To get around this I now apply the lacquer to a warmed shell (I give it a blast with a hairdryer before spraying the lacquer) and then try to dry the lacquer itself as quick as poss (also with hairdryer). Since doing this I have had no more problems
