If you are working with older vehicles that have the original lacquer or enamel you will find that they are usually a little softer than the late model urethane single stage paints. I recently did a 62 Impala with a repaint using red acrylic laquer. The paint was soft enough that I was able to do the correction with just some Ultimate Polish on a Tangerine Hydrotech Pad. The paint came out beautiful.
As with any other paint, just start out with the least aggressive combination and work up from there. It is a nice addition if you have a paint gauge to determine exactly how much paint you have to work with. The Impala that I did was a repaint and it had some areas that were originally polished very thin. I had to tread lightly in those areas.
