 Hi!
     I was just wondering...would it be okay to use an overcoat of acrylic clear
 varnish (Tamiya) over a coloured (gold) enamel (Humbrol) and then put a coat
 of Lacquer varnish (also Humbrol) over the acrylic?  I intend that the acrylic
 varnish act as a barrier to prevent the lacquer from attacking the airbrushed
 paint underneath.
     Would this work?  I don't have much experience with lacquers and wonder
 what is the best method of using them.
     Also, are lacquer paints/varnishes suitable for objects which will be
 handled a lot?  I say this with the model in mind (a badge).

     Thanks for any help...
