Is the a tech document for this paint? Most paint and primers I’ve worked with will have a document telling you pot life, recommend psi, time between coats, etc.
This information is the same for all of our 3:1 SSU colors https://www.eastwood.com/images/pdf/50200ZPQ_inst.pdf

Can I spray this over sanded lacquer?
It is possible but generally not recommended. Lacquer paints used a large amount of thinner in them so when applying a urethane over lacquer there can be issues with adhesion. If the lacquer paint was done 30 years ago you are probably safe to properly sand and prep the old paint to then apply the urethane paint over top. We would still suggest to properly sand and prep the old lacquer and top it with Eastwood Epoxy primer 1st before adding a urethane top coat just to be safe
