Can I paint over Hi-Lite?

[Ralihaus]

Hello. 
 

I’m almost finished with a project. I tooled, painted it and then applied Tandy Hi-Lite Briar brown. I realized it didn’t fill in enough shaded areas. I want to paint over the hi-lite now. 
 

I haven’t done this before. Can I paint right over it? Do I need to sand it first? Will it wipe off overtime? 
 

it’s going on a firefighter shield so it maybe be exposed to heat and water. 
 

thanks in advance.

Did you seal it with something like Resolene? Or does Hi-Lite color and seal both?

I haven’t sealed it with anything yet. Just paint the Hi-Lite. 
 

I’ve never painted over the hi-lite so wondering if it’s ok to paint over.

Might try it on a scrap piece. Put some Hi-Lite on it, let it dry, then paint over.
