Should not give you any problems when you use a primer....not a enamal primer by the way.

its thicker, and it leaves bubbles and stuff when it drys, it basicly ment for indoor use on walls in houses I think

not if its enamel paint for models. you have to thin it before
you spray it from an airbrush, it also comes in aerosol cans.

how do you thin it

they sell a can of thiner where you get the paint from either wall mart
or Hobbie store I think enamel is 2 parts paint i part thinner.
should look milky before you use it.
and its Testors enamel for models.

I know what thinner is, lol, so you mix that with it?

What happened with me was I sprayed a layer of enamel primer and than layed on coats of Tamiya paint and topped it of withTamiya clear....after some days cracks began to show prolly because of shrinkage of one of the two different paints....

it was probly the primer.. so, no enamel primers

that's because tamiya is "laquer"...

you can't spray laquer over enamel or it will craze
