Acrylic paint over dye?

[Jason046]

I like to use a soft cloth to put the resolene on and wipe it on. Then buff it off a few hours or overnight. Then apply again. That's been working for me

I never have a problem painting white over the black, just the red dye. But I do notice even after the first coat of resolene on red dye I still have dye coming off when I apply the second coat of resolene. Probably need to keep the process going till no more dye is coming off with the resolene

I tend to do several light coats of everything. That way if I make a mistake or want to fix or change something whether it's color shade or what it's not too too late.

One of the biggest issues I see with dye bleeding through to paint is that the clear coat wasn't given enough time to dry/cure. Plus, like any painting, the base color will show through white until you get enough coats on to make it opaque.

I airbrush mop n glo thinned 50/50 with water. If I give it 2-3 coats, and it dry for a day, I don't get any bleed through. If I only wait till its dry to the touch it will bleed through like crazy.

Thanks, I have neglected the painting aspect because my wife does all the painting. She has done this for awhile so I feel more comfortable with her doing it unless it's simple. So much time goes into a project I usually don't want to risk ruining it. But I need to start putting in some work on painting too
