Not knowing what 'surface energy' is, I figured that the relative roughness of the lacquer was enough 'tooth' for the Imron topcoat.

On another note, I painted (and still own) a '65 Corsa that I painted in an Art Artzburger paint scheme (stripes on the engine and trunk lids) with a black body; all in Dupont lacquer. Clearcoated in Imron.

This was maybe 25 years ago. Still looks beautiful.

 ?Indeed, Harry! Imron requires the correct base to adhere to. Given that it IS a reactive, isocyanate containing polymer, it needs a surface with both active hydrogen groups AND reasonable surface energy. Neither acrylic or nitrocellulose lacquers meet these needs. Now, if you did Imron over Imron, life would be SWEET!
