Panel lining with wash method with same paint type as base.

[acedudeyeah]

Unfortunately, this is all I can manage for now. Applying an acrylic wash for panel lining over an acrylic base coat, waiting a few seconds, and then applying a cotton swab with alcohol onto the piece. It takes off the base coat too.

How might I get around this?
I'm trying tomorrow when my paint dries, apply matte top coat and panel lining it after.
In case that doesn't work, anyone got any other methods/ideas?
Thanks

Yes I discovered this too..

The answer is the use enaml paint washes, and enamel specific thinner.

You may get some acryillic rub but it's nowhere near removing it.

Thankfully, my deadline for the model(my friend's birthday present) was delayed cause she moved her party back a few weeks.

So I got some enamel paint and lighter fluid for thinner! although it's some 3rd party lighter fluid from wal-mart, not like zippo brand. Hope it works.

Also, what mixes of paints or paint plus ABS/PS plastic produces horrific results?
Like meltings, bubblings, etc.
for example, Is enamel paint/thinner abusive to plastic? will it melt it upon prolonged exposure(paint, remove with thinner, repaint, repeat, repeat, repeat)?
and was it lacquer and acrylic that you can't mix?

thanks
