I've never done but absolutely I don't think so
Gunze are alchool-based paints wheras Valejo are water based paints
If you try to dilute the valejo paints with alcohol, you'll obtain a sort of awful jam that you can't use it, so i think they aren't compatible at all
Tamya and Gunze are compatible and maybe (but I'm not sure about) Lifecolor and Valejo are compatible
Cheers

I've understood They are called aqueous but their thinner is isopropyl alcohol. In fact i usually dilute them with X20a tamiya thinner
Anyway you can try to mix them and paint a junk model or a plastic card piece
cheers

In a word, NO.
Just because it is an acrylic paint, doesn't mean they can be mixed with another acrylic paint.
Simple mechanics....Gunze acrylics are an isopropyl alcohol base, Vallejo is a water base.
And as Mauro has said, an alcohol base/thinner into Vallejo will gel it.
While you can thin both Vallejo and Gunze with water, you can't thin both with alcohol (or Tamiya thinner). Just simply a different base acrylic.
