    my old vq was acrylic. check the paint code on the build plate,if it has 4 letters and numbers its 2pak,for example,my ss is b093 which is genesis blue 2pak. if it has 5 letters and numbers its acrylic.

    Well if you sand it back and put on a decent coat of primer then it shouldn't matter which paint you use.
