Yes.

> 3. tamiya colour is lacquer, automotive paint is lacquer, why MUST u prime with automotive but not with tamiya colour, when they are same types of paint?


Tamiya spray is synthetc lacquer, which is formulated for plastic model, while automotive paint is not.

> 4. how do i tell if white primer has covered white model? (i can't see ANY DIFFERENCE in texture...)
I can tell. You just have to train your eyes.

> 5. how do i tell if primer has seeped into panel lines enough (so they don't melt when i spray automotive paints)
Two or three coats of primer is enough. No visual inspection necessary.

> 6. i sprayed matt black onto unprimed, no other oils (maybe my own body oil, but not likely) peice of plastic....
>
> it cracked..... why?
Because you didn't prime it.
