Sounds like an epoxy. I don't know if that's good or bad.

OK, I will try it on bare metal. What I want to do are the "fat" wheelarches on the Merc (1:43). I'm confident it will work. Eventually...

help

I tried to paint the grille today, actually, add black ove the otherwise chrome grille. But the Humbrol enamel just melted the chrome paint! I guess I should have used Tamiya Acrylic, but guess what, the only model shop in town is out of most of Tamiya paints, as well as the masking tape and wax. The told me that they'd get the shipment this week... No they didn't. Never mind.

So am I right in assuming it was a bad Idea to try and paint with enamel over acrylic? Well, no biggie, just need confirmation that acrylic black will work

Yeah, Tamiya acrylic is really kind to anything, plus washes off really easy if you make a balls up!
Never heard of Humbrol enamel melting anything though!

Will it harden eventually and be water proof?

P.S. Where do you get all those synonyms for "doing something wrong"?

Well, one did have to find out sooner or later. It's not that the chrome paint was fresh or anything - it has been 2 weeks now since I sprayed it...
