You can paint directly onto it with an oil based paint like Tremclad.
I use TiteBond 2 for balsa wood.
Lacquer on wood seals it and gives a shiny appearance. Other paint or stains will not penetrate this finish, so if you wish to stain or otherwise colour your wood you must do it before putting lacquer on.

No, the solvents in lacquer are to hot and volatile. The lacquer will cause bubbling of the acrylic paint.
the fresh lacquer of paint on the wall dried quick.

Lacquer based silver paint.
Be careful applying lacquer as a top coat over latex or water based paint. The paint will often "craze" (bubble or sag) when lacquer is applied to it.
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.
Where can I buy black enamel paint that is similar to Japanese black lacquer?
scrape off the lacquer paint first. by means of sand paper #100-140 before applying the latex paint
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.
