Dupont makes "IMRON" polyurethane that is designed to be used as a top-
coat for enamels. For years many people, including myself, have been
using "IMRON" to topcoat over custom "lacquer" paint jobs also. Now,
Dupont has come up with a clear polyurethane (580-S) that is made
to be used over lacquer. I just painted my truck with black lacquer
(Dupont's Diamond Black), striped it in lacquer, then cleared the whole
truck in 580-S. I like the product and feel it is the answer to many
problems with custom paint jobs that have to withstand harsh
climates.
