Hello GJ

Yes, the consideration of the wiping is probably an important one.

Perhaps if the base coats on the chassis were in cellulose and you used something like "Humbrol" for the lettering, which I think can be wiped off with white spirit, then I think the base coat should not be affected?

I restored an old Lorry some time back and I used polyurethane paint on the majority of the vehicle but black cellulose paint on the petrol tank so that it would not be damaged by petrol spills. I would guess that Leak probably also used cellulose as the original paint?

You could do a simple test on a sample before deciding which combination would work I suppose....
