Default Faskkolor and Pactra react funny?

Will these two paint brands be ok to use together? I need to paint a drivers compartment and I was going to use a paint brush and Faskolor for the details. The remainder of the body will be done in Pactra spray. I don't want any funny chemical reactions causing the paint to come off.

you should be good to go. I prefer pactra over fascolor. I used a body recently for 1/8th scale that was painted with fascolor, and it reacted funny to nitro fuel.
unrelated to what you asked, but you should be good.

I use Pactra Sprint White or Silver to seal from nitro on all bodies i paint with Faskolor. Just let the Faskolor set for an hour or so before you spray on PActra in LIGHT coats.

Be sure to allow the Pactra (lacquer) to dry before painting the Fascolor (acrylic) on the Pactra. The two different types of paint don't mix. Unless, of course you are using Pactra acrylic paint. Then it shouldn't be a problem.
