Can I mix enamels and acrylics. I want to spray them out of an airbrush.

You mean mix an enamel with a acrylic? Im sure you could do it, but I'm not so sure that it would work.

Don't take my word for it cause I never use Acrylics.

P.S. Why do you want to mix the two???? I would just play it safe and buy the color I needed to mix, be it an enamel or an acrylic.

OK thanks. Had the same color in acrylic and enamel and just a little bit of each.
