Yes but it will crack and turn brittle with wear. If you need to have some protection for the sneaker, try using a flexible arylic product like Deco-Art. It is a clear protective product commonly found in the craft section. An alternative is to Scotch Gard the sneaker. This will help keep the sneaker design cleaner longer.
Unless you're spraying a laquer-based clearcoat over your existing laquer-based clearcoat, no. You should properly prepare and prime the surface before attempting to repaint. The quality of your paint job is directly related to the amount of time and work you put into it.
Yes, it will. I used Sharpies on my white canvas shoes and Scotchgard caused all the colors to start blending together and running.
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. !
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.
extra fine sand paper should do fine
yes u can use clear coat on ur enamel paint but first u hav to put primer then paint coats two - three coats depending on the requirements and then apply the clear coat single or double as required and most important thing is drying time shud be given in between each coats.
Spray more clear coat over the decals.
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.

Mixing clearcoat with paint, will ruin the paint.For enamel paints, make sure you use an enamel clearcoat. You should allow the paint to fully cure (at least a week) before attempting to apply the clearcoat. Never use a lacquer based clearcoat on an enamel based paint. It will ruin it.For lacquer based paint, you should only use a lacquer based 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.
A lacquer-based clearcoat. Enamel is never used for auto paint.
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.

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.

with your hands!
Walmart sells an anti-reflective clear coat spray by Krylon.
No it will cause big problems. You should sand down to paint before adding a new coat of clearcoatAnswer: There is nothing wrong with putting a new coat of clear over old, as long as it is well sanded , and the underlying clearcoat is in sound condition. It is necessary to do it when spot- repairing a clear -over- base metallic paintjob.
This depends on the type of paint. You will have to follow those directions. The colour coat I used recently does not use thinner. The clear coat used 25% thinner and 25% hardener.
