Re: lacquer primer and base coat?
At a minimum, I would suggest to scuff and seal with an epoxy sealer to prevent any problems.

1) Epoxy Primer is a corrosion resistant coating designed to be only applied to bare steel. 2) The solvents in epoxy primer will attack the lacquer primer causing a paint failure.

Re: lacquer primer and base coat?
I just want to add with the unknown of the primer it could very well have rust tracks underneath the primer. I have seen things primed with the laq. primer that rusted under it.

Re: lacquer primer and base coat?
I bought some lacquer thinner and give it a little wipe. It is lacquer primer put on over 25 years ago and the truck has been kept inside our home shop all these years. I think it is PPG brand but cannot verify. I have begun working on the body again and now need primer. Dad and I did body and paint over 40 years ago, so I am experienced spraying enamel and lacquer. Refinishing products are way different now days. And way more expensive!

Re: lacquer primer and base coat?
Also being inside changes most of what was said up above. If I had two I would spray some reduced epoxy primer MP282[ Omni is made by PPG but a bunch cheaper] I have sprayed hundreds of gallons of that stuff and love it. If you put some MR 186 [that medium reducer] that changes the primer to a nonsandable sealer then after that you could spray your base coat then clear. Spraying bc/cc is easy as spraying a primer you can do it!!!
