Default Beginner questions

Hey all. I've never had RC cars besides toys when I was a kid and I recently ordered a Tamiya Hornet re-release kit just to get a feel for it. The car hasn't arrived yet but I've been doing as much reading as I can to prepare. Right now I just had a few questions but I'm sure I'll think of more later.

1) I want to replace the plastic bushings with bearings. Good idea? Easy for a beginner?

2) Regarding painting, can I lay down a thin layer or two of a color and then back it with black so the color is muted?

3) Can I mix lacquers and acrylics? What is the difference between the two?

Thanks for the help, guys. Like I said, I'm sure more questions will present themselves as I go through the process.
