                        Thanks Ross.  At the rate I'm building, it will sit at least a week before I can get to the detail/weathing with the acrylic.

                        I build at pretty much the same rate, so I can tell you from personal experience you'll have no trouble! Big Smile [:D]

                        Sign - Ditto [#ditto] what Jerry said. As long as it is fully cured. Note that if you can still smell the "paint" odor, it is still outgassing solvent. If it passes the "sniff test" you are good to go.

                        Thanks Gerald.  This is one of those applications that a spray can will be a bit quicker.

                        acrylic over enamel?
                        Posted by bobbaily on Thursday, February 14, 2008 9:36 AM

                        Hey all.  I think I know the answer-yes, as long as the enamel has cured-but can I spray enamel on a subject, let it cure and then do detail with acrylic?  Both would be flat & Testors MM-spray can for the enamel.

                        Thanks

                        Bob
