What's Safe to Use for Detailing over Tamiya Acrylics?

[GU-11]

I'm starting plans on detailing some engine parts, and the most convenient way I know is to extract paint from a Gundam marker and paint it on with a brush. Thing is, will the marker paint adversely affect the Tamiya acrylics? I thought of using Tamiya acrylics, but what with its notorious tendency to lift the underlying paint, I thought I'd use Gundam markers instead.

I've read that some use enamels over Tamiya acrylics, but I don't think my local store stocks them.

So, is it okay to use Gundam markers?

Or, if the undercoat is fully cured, would it be safe to use acrylics over it for detailing work?

I don't know if this helps answer your question, but the gundam paint markers are acrylic as well so if you mess up with the paint and need to wipe it off, you risk wiping off the underlying acrylic too. They may also end up mixing with the acrylic base coat as well when you apply them. I guess just be very careful and don't mess up

Guess you're right.

Maybe I should clear coat the parts before painting them?
