ok..... thanks, and sorry... what i need to ask now is... if i do use automotive paints on a model ( i assume its lacquer) do i have to prime? or can i just spray straight on without worrying about the plastic?

also, i heard that enamel paints won't let anything sit on top of them, what if i spray clearcoat, or wax, just so it'll shine more..... will it shine?

THe paints are hotter so if you don't prime it will etch the plastic.
