if you are going do this on a car you must ensure that you key up the surface to be lacquered over.you could use 1500 grit and wet flat all the area or if the surface is smooth enough you could just scotch brite the surface with a grey scotch brite and soapy water.you must be careful when doing this that you do not break through the lacquer you are sanding because this will show through when lacquered

Yes, but you must sand away some of the glossy finish before painting. Use 150-grit for high gloss an use a finer grit like 300 for flatter finishes.

Lacquer thinner evaporates quicker. It is cleaner or leaves less of a film than paint thinner. Lacquer thinner will thin most solvent based paint but paint thinner shouldn't be used to thin Lacquer. Lacquer dries from the surface painted out and enammal dries from the surface of the paint down to the surface painted. Using the wrong thinner affects how the paint dries and may affect the final finish.
