Tamiya compatibility question

Need some help from the chemists out there--- I recently used one of the Tamiya rattle cans (TS series) for the first time as a partial base coat (I plan on completing the base coat with acrylics), and noted that it is described as a "synthetic lacquer", and further, that "Tamiya spray paints are not affected by acrylic or enamel paints. Therefore, following the painting of the entire assembly, details can be added or picked out using enamel and/or acrylic paints as a partial base coat." What the heck is a synthetic lacquer? I normally use acrylic paint for the base coat and then use oil washes thinned with Turpenoid, artist oils, and oil pastels for a lot of my weathering. Is an oil wash, or other oil medium, compatible with a synthetic lacquer? With Tamiya in particular? Any information will be appreciated,
Tom
