Default Painting question

I have a 78 with the original silver paint. I know it's lacquer paint, I sanded the whole car, and spot primed here and there, with a store bought primer filler. I think it is lacquer base. Question is, can I seal it, and then paint urethane over it. Will it work? Thanks.

That's a tough one! Not sure... I do know that you will get some really good advice if you post this over in the Paint/Body section. Several pros over there with lots of advice and years of knowledge. Good luck!!!
