The body is ready for painting. I am going to paint it in dark green pearl because my gf wants it in this color. In Tamiya terms X-5:1 + X-13:1.
The problem I have now is the type of Tamiya paint to use. Is enamel fine? I don't think acrylic is the way to go.
I read the FAQ again and found out the following.

jay@af: DO NOT USE: On car bodies. The shine is too harsh and unrealistic and it doesn’t polish well. Do not use on any surface which requires another paint type on top.

daggerlee: Enamel - They take weeks, even months to cure and gas out completely, and even then remain relatively soft when compared to lacquer paints. But they do polish out well when cured.

Please help.
