Hi guys,

I am wondering wether it is possible to use enamels on acrylics... I am going to build a model of a Williams formula 1 car. I intend to use a spraycan for the white color, and then overpaint it with enamels (for the blue). So this left me with the following questions...

Is it possible to spray acrylics over enamels without any problems, or do I have to make certain precautions (coat it first) ?

Is it possible to use enamels over acrylics without problems, or do I have to seal the layer of acrylics first with a coat of varnish ?

Thanks in advance,

Harm.
