You can use any type of paint over primer as long as the two are compatible. You should use the same type of primer and base/top coat (ie. enamel-enamel acrylic-acrylic) or some bad things could happen. There are some exceptions though. So I guess the answer would be no, you don't have to use automotive paints. What kind of primer did you use? The Testors spray paints aren't up to the quality of Tamiya spray paints, but usually get the job done and turn out well. Good luck on your Skyline!

I'm not sure but it should work. Maybe prime some spare parts or sprue and then spray your body colour on that just to test it and see if it works.
