I recently discovered how easy it was to panel with GM fine tips. I tested it on a few non painted kits and loved it, now I'm planning on using it on my future projects. I have read that sometimes marker lines will run or <insert other bad effects> when interacting with acrylic. Anyways, this is the paint order I had envisioned:

1. prime

2. coat # 1

3. coat # 2

4. decal & panel with GM

5. topcoat

(12 hr+ drying between each step)

I'm using Modelmaster acrylic paints (flat clear for top coat) and primers via airbrush (Tamiya not that available around here, and too lazy to order over internet :p). This concern stems from the impression that I get that GM's are lacquer-based... which I'm not too sure if it's true.

Umm.. from what I know there are two types of GM markers, one is acrylic based and one is enamel based. So, if you are using acrylic paints, you should use enamel for panel lining?
