I'm curious as to which acrylics you're using Analyzer? Tamiya?

It hadn't actually occured to me at the time that some enamels reduce with turpentine so yes of course it would react.
Need to better know the composition of your paints before inter layering!

I use Vallejo Model Air and Tamiya. Basically depends on which one has an "out of the bottle" color match for what I am painting

For Star Wars stuff, this is almost always custom mixes with Tamiya paints

I tend to prefer Tamiya, especially if mixing my own color, but when painting military stuff I find myself using Vallejo Model Air since they have more of the FS paint equivalents so all my WWII aircraft and modern jets are Vallejo

People used to enamels though often have a hard time with Vallejo Model Air. You sometime still have to thin it and it seems to want a higher psi when spraying than Tamiya

In either case, I usually let the paint dry overnight before using oils

For oil paint thinners I use Weber Odorless Turpenoid ( I think it is less "harsh", especially against Bandai plastic than straight turpentine or some other mineral spirits)

I also use "Artisan" aka "Water mixable" oils which are true oil paints, but then can be mixed/thinned with water. Although I still use the Weber Odorless Turpenoid anyway if I don't want certain areas stained after a gunk wash, or getting a nice panel line wash. It just has better surface tension and leaves less "rings" than water

Thanks for the breakdown!
I recall trying to find the odourless turpenoid but just couldn't get it here in Aus at the time and ended up with another type of turpentine through one of our bigger art suppliers, 'Eckersleys'. At the time I had figured that was the problem but clearly it was the enamel as I've had no issue's on the RC.
