Help...Clear Coating over Enamel Paints ???

I'm just playing about with another 350Z, (god I love those cars)
But here's the question, I'm airbrushing the body with a mix of Tamiya Enamel paints, and want to clear coat it in the end, what would be best; Future which is a acylic clear, or an Enamel base clear coat, I want to use the Future but will it ruin the finish.

All my bodys to date have been done using Tamiya TS sprays, so this is the first body to be totally airbushed with enamels

Thanks in advance

Future will not stick well to enamel. Acrylics and Enamels have a lot of surface tension and this will cause it to run very easily. Your best bet is to use Enamel clear coat. You can also use lacquer clear coats. If you use lacquer clear you have to build it up in very thin layers or the solvent in the lacquer will eat into the enamel.
