Does acrylic lacquer need a clear coat if it is a solid colour? I know the metallic does, but what about solids like white or red?

Depends on the paint system
2k paint doenst need it
But you can get solid colours in base coat which will require lacquer

As above totally depends on the type of paint and the system being applied.
You can get 2k paints designed as bases that need it and solid 1ks that don't.
It's really down to what your planning to buy.
Being an acrylic I am assuming this is rattle can paint we are talking about?
