Each layer of material you put on a panel increases the chance of checking (spider web cracking of the paint). If the enamel is completely cured I don't think you'll have an issue with lifting but it would be wise to test it in an inconspicuous place first.

To be safe, I would scuff the enamel, shoot a coat of epoxy sealer, then you can shoot the eurathane. The only problem you might have with the eurathane is the reducer you use in it. It might check the enamel.

No better smell than that of fresh paint. I've been building and painting cars/trucks for 47 years. Not gonna stop now.
