The colour pigments are ground more finely for paints designed for models than they are for regular "House" paint. As a result, the regular paints don't scale down very well and the result could be lost detail or a surface that (depending on the scale eg. HO or N) looks like it was covered with golf balls and then painted. On larger scales like O or G you might be able to get away with it. <br /> <br />It sure is worth a try though! I would try it out on some left over parts or casting sprues first. <br /> <br />ndbprr's advice about thinning and cleaning the surface is a must in any case.
