No, don’t use gloss for a base layer.... I mean, I’m sure it can be done and likely has been successfully, but you want your base layer to be like primer so that the top layer has something to really adhere to. Gloss would be more of a risk.
And if you use acrylic for the base layer make sure to use acrylic for your top coat as well, or enamel on top of enamel, etc.?
