Can someone tell me where I can find info on paint compatibility?
It'd help if we knew what you have in mind.
Compatibility with what, other paints, various finishes, coverings, _what_ ?
Higley's book "There Are No Secrets" has a fair amount of compatibility info, particularly with respect to various finishing systems, composites, and paints.

Generally one can start with Lacquers, paint enamels over Lacquers, paint acrylics over enamel and or lacquer but not in the reverse order. The solvent in enamel will lift acrylic (both the water based and the resin based acrylics) and the powerful solvents in lacquers will lift both enamel and acrylic.
For further references refer to the various pages at =

Two part acrylics and polyurethanes can be painted over with just about anything. I have been using House of Kolor polyurethane for years and it seems impervious to just about anything except paint stripper. One thing to remember is that you MUST let any paint cure for atleast 4-5 days before you get complete resistance to fuels and solvents.
Just be sure to use PLENTY of "liquor" - then it really won't matter to you how the airplane ends up looking.
