Each to their own on this subject. However, paint always needs a 'key'.
My personal method is to go over the model parts with either Scotchbrite wadding or fine wet'n'dry paper to prepare the model surface itself to a dull matt finish.
Wash off with dilution of detergent to get rid of any dust and mould release agent. When dry I always prime with automotive acrylic primer, before top coating.
Never use acrylic over enamels or lacquers. Oil based paints take a long time to thoroughly dry and an acrylic used on top will be like putting a plastic membrane over it that will eventually bubble through.
It is OK the other way around though using enamels over acrylics as acrylics dry fast.
