I think the rules goes you can spray 2k over celly but not the other way around?

No that applies to synthetic, 2k will go over anything

2 pack should go over any other type of paint...

Maybe you got some silicon between the halfords paint and the 2pack.

2k will go over anything as said, but put celly etc over 2k it will react.

Generally I stick to 2K high build primer with 2k top coat or basecoat depending on what you are spraying. 2K doesn't always go over anything I have had on several occasions had a reaction with 2k over rattle can primer. (Panels prepped by other people) All wiped down with panel with etc,etc. Have used barcoat in the past to stop it.
Generally 2k paint is great to use & can be applied a lot thicker than celly.
