Mary,
I'm not an expert, but I think the reason you can't find precat lacquer is that it has a limited shelf life. It's was mostly used by manufacturers (like Airstream) because it is easy to get a durable finish using industrial spray equipment.
Because it has a short (6 month) shelf life, it's not something your regular woodworking store would keep in stock. A company like Airstream used enough to keep the product fresh, and they probably ordered it fresh every month from the manufacturer.
Not to discourage you. I'm sure you can find it if you look hard enough. Call larger specialty paint retailers.
I don't know how well it will work over freshly oiled finishes.
