I've used small amounts of enamels on ponies before and it never dried, even after nearly two weeks. I ended up taking a paper towel and wiping it right off; you couldn't even tell there was paint there, lol. When I asked a similar question about ponies and enamels a lot of people came back and said that they just don't work.
I use tamiya acrylics, and they're lovely! I've even used the tamiya spray paints to do full body repaints, and as long as I put down a few layers of primer or even normal acrylic craft paint, i don't have any problems with sticky ponies! I'd see if you can find some of the tamiya acrylics because they really do have a great smooth finish.
I was looking on ebay and they're $5 a bottle for 10 ml.. kinda pricey, I was thinking- would the super arty acrylics from the art store have the same effect?If I can get more, that's the same or better quality than tamiya then I'll try it haha.

To be honest, none of the other acrylic paints I've used have had the same finish as the Tamiya. I've tried many different brands of craft store paint. The Tamiya has specific applications (at least in my opinion) and isn't as versatile as normal craft store paint though. I don't think I'd use any of the flat or gloss tamiya colors for a full body repaint, for example, because they're so slick. They tend to look better when used for cutie marks and eyes only (again, just my opinion). You'd probably get better value if you used your money to buy nice craft store paint rather than Tamiya paint for that reason.
