i just sprayed the model iam working on with testors dull coat from a can over my future gloss coat after pin washing and decals.then when i was done it dawned on me that its lacquer not acrylic.i plan on doing oil dot fading and oil filters next with klean-strip odorless mineral spirits as my thinner iam i going to run into issues with the dull coat being removed?

Not sure about the Klean-strip. But I would think you would be ok with a very mild mineral spirit. I had done it before, but I let the dull coat dry for about 3 days. And I use a mild mineral spirit from the hardware store.

I use RecoChem, it is a no name brand sold here in Canada at Canadian Tire in the hardware section.
