May I use alkyd primer with acrylic paint

acrylicalkyd

I have a fuel canister made in 1943, cleaned it from rust and old paint and sprayed over with gray primer that I had in garage. The primer is alcyd paint, with anti-corrosion properties.

Most of my spray cans seem to contain acrylic paint, can I use them over the alcyd base or should I go shopping for alcyd paint, just to be sure?

You can use acrylic over alkyd primer, in fact that is a preference of mine. What I generally do not do is apply alkyd finish over acrylic (unless I sand thoroughly).
