There are only two things you could have a problem with that I can think of 1) If you don't seal it the enamel paint "could" soak in and spread. 2)When using enamel under a polyurethane clear you will have long term problems IF you don't add some PU hardener to the enamel paint.
Hi Dan, there's always a myriad of reasons why we "shouldn't" do something but as long as you've got the want to do it, then you've got the one good reason that trumps all the other "shouldn'ts" ... (wow, I guess I'm getting pretty deep with that!Originally Posted by danluland@dodo.com.au

As JohnnyC points out, its going to be a good idea to seal the timber first (either with a clear or a solid colour) and then paint on top of that (for all the reasons that JohnnyC pointed out) ... but it does leave you with a huge range of possibilities with choice of sealing coats, paints that you'll use for your design and then clear coatings to protect it ... just make sure that each of the mediums are compatible.
Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!
