More help needed - Paint
I have just finished my first scratch built bucket and now it is time to paint it. I have done a search and thanks to many others hard work I think I know the different colours I will need. Only problem, when I Googled the paint names, some of them came up as Floquil and some Polly Scale. Being that one is acrylic and the other Enamel, won’t they react when painted over each other? I have a vague memory that you can paint acrylics over enamels, but not the other way around. Is this correct, or do I have it the wrong way around? Either way I think I’m going to come unstuck, as some areas of the helmet have a final enamel colour and the other parts acrylics. What do other guys do to overcome this (without releasing trade secrets)? Any help is appreciated.
