There are plenty of laquers that you can use. I usually prime everything with Tamiya's fine grey primer which is laquer based I believe. If you're concerned whether or not a specific paint will attack the plastic my best advice is to try it out on a scrap piece before applying to your project. If it looks good and doesn't attack your scrap, then it should be good to go. I would still recommend going slowly and applying only light coats just to be safe.
like I said, I use Tamiya's fine grey primer (rattlecan) since I like the way it covers. it may be hard to find though. I've just started using Mr. Surfacer as a primer and have to say, i'm impressed so far.
hope it helps!
