Odorless thinner doesn't harm acrylics at all.

Agree with Hokey, depending on what thinner you use. It will be fine with mineral spirits or odorless thinner (I use Mona Lisa brand). If you are using enamel thinners, you may get some damage to the acrylic paint, so always test first.

No,the acrylic should be able to stand up to it.Make sure it's well cured.

Do  I need to "seal" a Model Master acrylic base coat (applied over Tamiya primer on a resin kit) before using oil base artist paint for wash and weathering?
