I feel I ought to clarify the use of one component (1K) and two component (2K) paint systems.

On the whole the mixing of 1K and 2K stuff is considered to be "illegal"

However,

1) More modern paint systems now have a single component (sometimes water based) base coat that can then be combined with 2K clear coat. A clear coat for these more modern systems is needed on top of the colour coat be it 1K or 2K

2) Some single component epoxy primers can be combined with 2K paint. Ferpox - same company as Fertan the rust converter - can be combined with 2K automotive paint so long as the layer on top does not exceed 150 microns. (That's about 2 coats). That will be my plan...

...I think...
