Will this look okay if it is brushed on?

Have another question.

Will Testors Enamel interact with Testors Acrylic?

Want to paint bed of Lindberg 1930 Model A Pickup 1/32 with Wood color enamel.

Body is painted with yellow acrylic.

The metalflakes will only look good if brushed on a very small area, such as trim of some kind. The red, for example, could be used for taillights, or the blue for some kind of emblems.

I agree.

I find it hard to believe that brushed on metallic paint would result in an even distribution of metallic particles on a body.

Thank you for the answers.

What about the enamel paint interacting with acrylic paint?

Truck bed is painted with Testors acrylic.

If I paint the unpainted floor of bed with enamel will bad things happen where it touches acrylic?

Enamel over acrylic is generally ok - I would test to be safe on something that doesn’t matter but I’d be confident of it working just fine
