They are okay to use in any application,but in your previous post you metioned you were using Mig washes and filters,these products are also enamel as is their thinner for washes so they will harm the Humbrel enamel clear.,that is why you need to weather with the opposite of your clear coat.I don't know what is available to you,but if your using Mig stuff,you need a acrylic clear.


acylic clear=use enamel wash and weathering

Enamel clear= use acylic and weathering

I hope this is helpful to you
