There is an unwritten rule that you do not mix enamel and acrylic paint as they are completely different in their makeup, enamel being a solvent based paint and acrylic being water based paint.
In all my years of modelling I have never tried to mix the two, until today!
When I mixed six drops of enamel paint with an equal amount of acrylic paint, it looked like nothing was happening, as soon as I started mixing them together, the paint started to go stodgy until I was left with a paste.
I then applied the paste to a section of primed sprue to see if you could use it.
After eight hours the paste was still wet on the sprue, meaning that it would take a long time to dry, if at all.
So, the outcome of this experiment is do not mix the two together, use them separately.
