I started painting a Tamiya Hardshell with my airbrush using Testors acrylic black paint. Needless to say its not going the best, too thin and the surface feels rough as though it dried too fast, too thick and it orangepeels. After reading through some older posts its seems quite obvious that Tamiya spray cans are the way to go but they are a Laquer, is it safe to spray them over the acrylic paint assuming I let it dry for a week or more? All I want is a nice shiney black paint job, pretty basic.
BTW, I wet sanded out the orange peel and rough areas.
