Thanks for those replies chaps, most helpful, so I think I'll use an auto rattle can satin black, leave it for a couple of days then use acrylics for the camo scheme, As there are only 3 other colours in use I might even run a trial with both types of paint. Can anyone recommend acrylic over enamel or vice versa?

All, firstly I apologise if this is in the wrong place but I spent ages in the tips place and got nowhere. I am going to start building an X-Craft S/M, this is the first kit I have attempted in a few years and it is ostensibly matt black, now the quandry I have is, when I built using matt black enamel in the past, during handling it always ended up satin, which was fine in certain circumstances but the texture change only happened where it was handled so it became patchy. Is there a way of preventing this? Please bear in mind you are talking to a relative novice. Also I am going to attempt a camouflaged superstructure to try and replicate the X-Craft in Op Gambit, so which types of paint are incompatible? as I was thinking about using a car spray rattle can for the hull colour. Thanks in advance.
