Urethanes will work, and if you use an adhesion promoter, just about any rattlecan paint will work. Don't sweat it.
I've painted cars with Createx, Auto-Air, and Testors, as well as cheap rattlecan paint.

If you're worried about it, use rattlecan clear or 2k clearcoat.

What he said , I use auto air all the time with no problems . They even offer a flex agent so the paint stays flexable after drying //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
