So I've been preping my '75 for paint for the last two weeks and figured I was ready for primer. So I thought I'd do a quick wipe down with acetone and a tack cloth then shoot some primer. Had I been more experienced at painting I probably would have realized sooner that the paint (repaint) that I have been sanding on for two weeks was lacquer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . The acetone imeadiatly started washing off the old paint. So hear is my question. Is there anything better and cheaper than acetone to wash down the car? Assuming that I cannot paint over the lacquer with acylic urethane.
