Just to avoid any confusion here,auto lacquers or cellulose aerosols were removed from general wholesalers shelves quite a while back,these were replaced with acrylic stock,just as aircraft cellulose clear dopes have been replaced with another volatile substance,there has been a huge outcry from vintage enthusiasts so I guess you are referring to specialist paint suppliers for vintage vehicles,my comments refer mainly to the supply of paint to the general public for modern vehicles and useful for our models,as it happened they did model builders a favour as the new formulae paint is useful for application on plastics 'provided' a primer base coat has been applied,that is important,do not spray direct on plastic as the new solvents could damage plastic.
As always check on a piece of sprue first before committing to your model !
