Lacquer thinner (any containing strong solvents like ketones , xylene, toluene, etc) will damage any paint, including clearcoat. A single pack acrylic clearcoat is most vunerable(thinners will destroy it.) , and 2-pack urathane is more resistant, but will soften on the surface and lose its gloss if wiped with lacquer thinners. Thinners for alkyd enamels is fine. It is a mild hydrocarbon solvent found in wax and grease remover, and won't damage the paint.

Yes, a clear coat of lacquer can be used to refinish a Louisville Slugger bat. Once applied, you should let the bat sit for at least a few hours. This will allow the elements of the lacquer to effectively soak in, which will preserve the bat and give it a fine coat and finish. You can also use pine tar, however, this is only a temporary solution in keeping the bat smooth.

Can you mix your clear coat with the paint and how much clear coat should i use?

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.
