Need some advice on airbrush beading

Hello, I just recently started airbrushing my gundam plastic model kits and have attempted a nice color scheme I saw elsewhere online. In this scheme someone used mr. color super metallic chrome (a lacquer paint) on top of mr. color black and primer 1200. After this he goes on to paint using Tamiya clear red, an acrylic paint on top. As soon as I get to the clear red stage however, the paint does not stick on at all and ends up beading off. Should I use the same thinner for all of them (currently I am using mr. color leveling thinner for mr. color and then Tamiya acrylic thinner for the tamiya paint)? Or am I just not waiting long enough for the previous paint to dry? Any help is appreciated.
