[Hallicrafters] Paint Question / Problem

[Ronald Oberloh]

Just painted a non-Hallicrafters with some paint I bought from Total
Electronics.  It was an awful experience partly do me to and partly do
to the paint bought from Total Electronics.

I have sent emails to Total Electronics and have not been getting any
return replies.

In my opinion the paint should be sold thinned.  I am in Phx AZ and the
paint dried way to fast.  If I had been able to add my own thinner I
could of stopped this from happening.  Second a second color was bought
in one of the aerosol cans.  No way near enough pressure in the can to
do a good job.

Anyway with all that said my problem is I now want to spray a clear coat
over my job which I hope will help clean up a couple of bad spots.  I
believe that the paint that Total sells in not an enamel but a lacquer
(next time I get enamel mixed at the local auto paint store) I am afraid
that if I don't use the right clear coat that I will end up with a total
mess. I am afraid the paint might blister because it is not an enamel.
ANYONE out there have any suggestions as to what to use? Anyone else
have a similar experience with Total paint?   What does Total sell
enamel or lacquer?

Anyone help?

Thanks
