Default WRAITH PANEL IDEA! - What can I do to make this work?

This may or may not be a good idea, but I'm gonna try it anyway...

I NEED YOUR ADVICE ON THE BEST POSSIBLE PREP/STEPS TO MAKE THIS A SUCCESS, OR AT LEAST SOMEWHAT PULL IT OFF.

Here's the plan:

1-Firmly grasp the wraith panels.

2-Shoot the back (inside) of the panels with a Tamiya synthetic lacquer.
One of the military ones like these:
Tamiya America - Tamiya Color Spray AS

3-Shoot the front (outside) of the panels with Testors Dullcote to achieve a FLAT, Non-glossy look.
Details can be seen here:
Testors » Clears, Thinners & More » Clears » Enamel Paints » Dullcote Lacquer - 3 oz. Spray Can

Do lacquer and lexan get along?
What side effects may occur?
How can I promote good adhesion?


I really want to have a feasible plan for this because I love the Tamiya
line of Aircraft/Military paints.
And I definitely want a flat, gloss free look.

I gladly welcome all advice on this.
Thanks.
- Jared

I googled a bit and found this which was very helpful.
He just sanded it with 1000 grit wet and a drop of soap...
