I have layered acrylics over a lacquer base coat, layered acrylics over airbrushed lacquer paints, and layered airbrushed lacquer coats over acrylic many times in the past without the issue I am describing.

Come to think of it, I have always used a lacquer base coat before airbrushing, which means I have always layered acrylic over a lacquer base. I have had only a few problems doing this, and I'm now wondering if the problems were related to inappropriate dry times for the lacquer base...I have to admit I'm not always patient. I can see how Kevin's use of a water-based primer would help in this matter -- no outgassing issues if the base/prime coat is water-based.

OK, lesson learned: I won't combine the two anymore.

Thanks for all your input.
