Hi Callum,

If you are applying pigments to a model painted with acrylic paints do not go near it with methylated spirits. Methylated spirits will “burn” through acrylic paint faster than you can blink.

Also, methylated spirits on its own is merely a solvent. It contains nothing to act as a fixative. However, you may consider making up a very thin mix of clear (gloss or flat), which will do the job just fine. [:)]
