Like Irwin has pointed out you can't take everything you read even on our forum here as gospel. We all try to share our experiences and help each other the best we can but with the best of intentions sometimes we err. Usually what you buy in the hobbyshops will be safe but then you do pay premium prices for some of those products when you don't always have to. I have used acrylics with very good results but the clear coat can make or break a good paint job. Always test your paints as described by irwin and campy above and save yourself a lot of grief. They gave us some very good advise
