To be honest, from past experience, I've found that just sticking the bits in my grit-jar and giving it a good shake to be enough to give the acrylic a good key for painting over the enamel (that's if the enamels fully cured box course) I've not experience crazing doing this and possibly I may have just been lucky
@John ..... If you sieve your bird grit through a tea strainer then it'll separate all the oyster shell from the mix and it'll be less abrasive. I found the standard mix too erosive when i painted white metal figures years ago, You can keep the shell stuff as its good for using as heavy gravel in dioramas
