Want this question answered?
yes I've tried it before.
No, the solvents in lacquer are to hot and volatile. The lacquer will cause bubbling of the acrylic paint.

Yes. But you can't do the reverse. So if your primer is lacquer-based you can spray an over-coat of enamel on the top.
in theory yes however if you put a new layer on lacquer it may not be clear as in see through, so you better just try on scrap.. good luck.
A clear coat or more depending on what you have painted. This will chip the clear coat not your colour coat. For best protection a two pack clear that when cured ends up as hard as nails to protect the finished products colour from damage. It also will chip but gives a good protection for the colour coat. !
Spray more clear coat over the decals.
Not suppose to be able to but I did and it never lifted just wore off a lot sooner than I thought it would
Lacquer can cause the paint to bubble or crack due to the very hot solvent that is a part of lacquer. If you want a clear coat over paint, a better choice is spar varnish over oil base paint and arcylic urethane over latex.
Not really, no. Many horns are coated with a clear lacquer over polished brass, and an abrasive silver polish will wear off the lacquer.
Low-odor mineral spirits is commonly used
The Sharpie will eventually wash off the epoxy. The only way to keep any drawn image on it is to sand it down and do it or possibly draw with your Sharpie and apply a couple coats of epoxy clear coat over it.
