Doesnt really matter whats on it originally, its what you want to do now that counts. Probably 2 pack on originally. You can get it in a straight 2k or a polyester basecoat requiring a clear coat laquer on top. As for aerosols you can't get 2k in aerosol for obvious reasons. If you need any more info/advice you are welcome to give me a call

your in luck, my mrs has an acrylic chaste white bongo too.

i use this, its really good, and off the shelf, its a perfect match for the bongo. lacquer over after and it will be spot on.
