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.

I haven't been able to find a reliable source to confirm either way - I had had read that it was Glasurit Lacquer, this on 914club, but then it wouldn't be the first time the doctor was not right.

I'd read that porsche (not Karmann) used different systems based on color, like the red was a single stage, the blue was base/clear, but this was 924-specific.
