Testors enamel or acrylic?

I read on this forum that Testors model paints are good to repair small scratches. But when I was at the store I noticed they had enamel and acrylic paint, both the same price. Which one should I use?

Enamel is more durable.

Get some lacquer thinner to clean your brush.

+1, by itself.

But acrylic can be clear coated with quality automotive clear.

And for dab-n-go touch-up, fingernail polish!!
Comes in zillions of colors, too.
