I am considering using an enamel for the bare metal fininsh on my P-51. I am wanting to do the rest of the markings, etc in acrylics. One question however. Are there any problems with spraying Acrylics over enamel finishes?

Hi Redman,

Not really. I do it all the time.

I prime my air with Floquil enamel silvers--almost as good a chrome plating IMHO.

I airbrush mainly with acrylics. The Polly Scale that I use rarely lifts off even with sticky tape.

I don't use Tamiya often on air.
