According to the tamiya website, paint from their spray cans aren't affected by enamel and acrylics. Can anyone confirm this? I'm planning to line using Mr.hobby enamel paint and add a few details using Mr.metal. Btw, the source http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/list/spray.htm

I've done at least 4 fully painted kits using industrial spray cans and probably the most important thing to remember is to always prime your kit before spraying. Masking on top of painted surfaces is almost impossible as the paint will almost always peel off with the masking tape during unmasking. However, priming helps but doesn't guarantee that the paint will stick. I'ved used bosny acrylics and the paint doesn't stick that well (it chips off easily). Nippon laquers are probably the best, as most forumers here would attest to it. I've found a few at my local shop and tried them out. Used mainly flat black and abit of gray. Finishing was fantastic and you could probably fool most people into believing that it was painted using an airbrush. Paint sticks much better compared to bosny. Sadly I don't have pictures of my model kit with me.
