Not sure, seems like pactra is really picky. Whenever I used pactra it created bubbles. I guess its worth a shot though since pactra isn't made anymore.

I'd test it first on some scrap. In my painting experience as long as the pactra is used first and allowed a day to completely cure, not much seems to phase it. I've used spaz-stix chrome over pactra before and didn't have any issues. Not sure if it's "hotter" than their black or not though.

You can back spaz stix with parma fascolor, if you have a airbrush. Yes the parent company to pactra discontinued that and floquil as well. Im not sure on what other brands were discontinued.

I had the owner of the LHS tell me that Testors bought out Floquil as well as a few other small specialty paint companies. Well, after responding to this I read the thread a few below this one and it provided an email that explained what had actually happened. I guess this is another reason not to listen to HobbyTown !
