David Womby Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I normally paint with all acrylics but this time I used a matt ModelMaster enamel. it's dried fast - less than 2 hours but how long before I can safely apply an acrylic gloss coast for the decals to go on, please?

Marlin Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Hi David. I prime my models with Humbrol enamel, and then paint them with acrylic paint. And I usually let the enamel dry for at least 24 hours, sometime 48 hours. HTH /Bosse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom726 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 A clever, fellow modeller once told me; when you can't smell the enamel anymore, that´s when you can apply an acrylic layer over enamels. That's been my rule of thumb ever since. 🙂 Bjarne 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
