new colour - I've decided ....
... on citroen saxo yellow; it is almost a very light orange.
So can I just spray this over red paint? (cellulose).
Means car will be the same shade of colour since I did not paint it originally, I don't know what red paint was used.

i think you will need a fresh primer coat over the red or it will effect the final colour,

I suspect you will need a layer of tie coat (think that's what it's called) over cellulose before using another type of paint.

I don't mind as all panels match.
Is there a problem with putting on many coats of paint? If so, what is the maximum number before it needs to be sanded down?
BTW I plan to put cellulose paint on top of cellulose paint so should not have compatiiblility issues.

It needs to be sanded between each coat and then gone over with a tack cloth, if you want a good finish.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

If you dont use a blocking coat such as a primer the colour will not look like the colour you want,
red is notorious for showing thru other colours that are applied over it,
paint is to some extent transparent,
and the light shinning on the paint and the colour underneath can effect the final colour,
thats one of the reasons why you use a primer in the first place either over an etch coat or as a straight etch primer,
because light shines through paint the colour underneath can effect what you see with the layers above,
paints are designed to go over a base colour which is stated on the tin,
try using a black etc primer on a spare piece of material and a grey or white etch primer on another then give them both three or four coats of the
top coat and i can garuntee you will still see a diffrence
in the colour,

^^^^ well I guess that throws a bit of a spanner into the works  .... so I have changed my mind 
After looking at spray cans in halfords, I am going with Rover Blaze - a kind of orangey, almost reddish brown colour that should be sprayed onto a
red primer.
Will test it out before buying in the tubs of paint.
