Marty ,

Krylon and Rustoleum are enamels . Using different clears over hobby paint can be a hit or miss proposition ! I stick to the Testors enamels straight across the board , both paint and the clear . This way , I have no worries when it comes to the compatability with the plastic .

As for the Tamiya line , Mike Mc or Bob Downie will have a better answer for you . I don't use the product .

enamel drys slow and picks up dust //// arc dry a little faster /// i use enamel but i go into my paint dryer fast to stop the dust or slow it down

high gloss clear testors is fine on krylon.
