I use both on my models and never had a problem with any except one was Model Master aluminium which took three days to dry I like the Vallejo and Bager for the range of colors and use Tamiya clear red , yellow and orange for marker lights also it would depend on the color you want to use at the time but as I stated I never had any problems with enamels or acrylics
