My wife bought me an almost full set of Pro Acryl paint (minus the transparent set as I don't use that kind of paint) and yesterday I set about using them for the first time.

I have used a couple of the paints, Yellow Ochre (covered like crap) and a few of the metallic paintz. So far all of the paints will just wipe off with no pressure. I left this shield to dry over night, everything was fine but as soon as I picked up the shield this morning the paint started to wipe off.

Does Pro Acryl require a certain primer to work? I have used white and black Vallejo surface primer (practising Zenithal highlights) to prime the miniature. I've looked at Stynylrez but I don't have any yet. Would that work better?

Edit: this is not an issue of oil from my fingers, I use a latex glove on my left hand, the only hand that touches the plastic and it was well cleaned before priming. The primer isn't coming off, just the paint.
