Yes. Of course the result will be a flat coat, which is not suitable for decals. I prefer gloss acrylic for that reason. Then flat or gloss clear, then wash.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Yes. Just give the enamel base coat enough time to dry and cure. I usually wait at least overnite.

You bet.  But, like Stik says, give the enamel base plenty of time to dry.
