Im not a painter but I know if you want to paint bare metal you should use primer.If the old paint is good and not cracked and peeling you could clean and sand and paint if you use enamel on enamel or as long as the new paint/thinner is compatible with the old and you dont have a chemical reaction,you can maybe paint over the old paint.I always used enamel so thats all I know about.Lacquer thinner will remove enamel even after it dries so you cannot paint lacquer over enamel or enamel over lacquer I dont think.You might put some kind of primer over lacquer and paint it then,not sure.The best thing to do is take the old paint off,primer,sand,put new paint on.I dont have any idea if you are painting wood.Oil base is different than the other stuff is about all I know however if you are having a problem with rust or some kind of stain coming through your painted walls you can put primer on that will stop that.Kilz is one I used and it works.Outside on a house it might last longer with the right primer under it.If you use oil base you might put another coat on and skip the primer but the wood drinks that paint and if primer was cheaper I would use that first to cut the cost down.At the places I worked at whenever they painted metal it had primer under it.Painting 15 or 20 gallons of paint a day or more,they would have skipped it if they could get away with it to save money,and sometimes they did.I dont know what the reason was,but I know they primered most everything.Maybe on bridge beams underneath a bridge they didnt figure they needed primer or something,I dont know,I wasnt a painter.Maybe a real painter will tell you better.
