just thinking out loud here...

im tinkering around at home with some scabs on the run around , weather is on the turn soon so i need to nip about

anything wrong /daft with doing a repair and 1k clear it ,so its sealed and roadworthy , then before winter oive got some other jobs planned so thinking say 1200 it and bang some 2k clear over it for a good job vs driving around in primer for a few weeks

Should be no problem.

I am having the same thoughts about fixing some of the lower edge scrapes on my front BMW M Sport bumper, I also have a mirror cap to re paint and was going to use an aerosol 2K lacquer but don't think I will the opportunity to do both in the shelf life of an activated 2K spray can.

I have done exactly this on my wheel arch, to tide me over until it can be done properly.

I always found that 1k would go yellow and craze after a while, would be a shame if this happened after clearing it with 2k and affecting the finish.It seems odd to put an inferior product under a better product.

The modern lacquers don't go yellow. Those that did were caused by the UV, so overcoating with 2k will protect it anyway.

I would be a little worried about a soft substrate under 2k Steve but why not. Options when cured, knock it back 800 without breaking through or simply wash it off before you complete the job properly.

That's the recommended method for applying clear over a chrome finish.
The chrome paint can't accept 2 pack, so they recomend you apply 1K first.
