Best Answer

yes

but there should be no metallic in the paint, otherwise youll need to recoat for the purpose of ensuring the colour looks right.

most metallics that are wetsanded before clearing will look weird in the area where it was wetsanded due to the metallics in the paint being forcibly moved by your hand /sandpaper. the stable pattern that the spray gun layed down will be interrupted. and often look really bad or be very obvious even the the final finish is smooth and glossy

What kind of paint can you put on alkyd enamel primer?

Alkyd Enamel is really old school primer. I personally would sand it with 400 wet/dry and put a coat or two of an epoxy primer over it then you can put just about any type of paint on it. If you don't want to do that, probably your best best would be n Enamel top coat , You can still get Automotive Enamels but they will be expensive because the EPA is really cracking down on the solvent based finishes. Color selection may also be limited but they are out there. And even if you use an enamel , you should clear coat it with a Urethane Clear. IT helps protect the base coat from fading and gives a great gloss when buffed. I have painted a lot of cars with Enamels and they go on fairly heavy so watch out.

Yes, Spar varnish is a marine quality exterior varnish that can be used over many surfaces, however it does have an amber hue that will affect the color of whatever surface is being coated. If you're looking for a long-lasting crystal clear coating then a better choice would be a water-based polyurethane coating.

Mixing clearcoat with paint, will ruin the paint.For enamel paints, make sure you use an enamel clearcoat.

The paint should be dry, but does not have to be fully cured, since the lacquer will wet the coat of paint below it anyway.
