Any compatibility issues?
I'm talking about single stage (urethane?), acrylic enamel, and acrylic lacquer.
I searched but didn't find anything.

Opti-coat works fine on single stage paint in my experience. I have never had a problem, just make sure you prep properly before application.

Opti coat was designed for the newer clear coat paints, but I have used over ten different single stage paint cars and never a problem.

Thanks!

How about non-urethane finish?

The reason I'm asking, I'm not sure if OC2 should be used on plastic trims. Based on the fact that IPA dissolved paint from painted handles in the car that I'm slowly preparing for OC2, it doesn't look like urethane finish was used at the factory on plastics. Besides I'm playing to respray them before OC2. I haven't decided on acrylic enamel vs. acrylic lacquer or both.
