Help. Blotchy dye over paint

[PalmettoPatriot]

I need help yall. This is probably my 3 tooled project and it's my first project where I incorporated paint. I used Tandys Eco-Flo cova color paint and finding medium brown antique finish. 

I painted my colored areas first and went back to touch up some lighter spots and then applied the antique finish. All was going well until I wiped away the excess and noticed the blotches where I touched up the paint. I'm assuming it was not fully dry in those spots and absorbed more of the dye. 

What is the best way to fix this? Can I simply paint over it and re-apply the finish. Or should I strip the finish and paint off and start over? If so then what's the best way to do so?

got pics?  I actually had it worse.  The antiquing smeared my paints all over the piece.  When I asked Tandy guy for assistance, he suggested antiquing / staining first, then painting.

Problem was/is both the antique and paint use the same solvent.

Put on a barrier, aka a resist, or block, first, apply antique, then paint

To correct now, put on a resist/block/barrier, then repaint

I use a local-to me version of 'Mop & Glo' floor 'polish', which is actually a water thin acrylic varnish

It turned out exactly the way I wanted, except for the spots that I had touched up. 

I do want a darker finish so I had planned to do another coat of finish, I'm thinking i should do that before applying a resist?

very nice!  Just made an acrylic stamp using that same exact pattern.  Letters are SOO hard to get right.  You did a nice job.

Yes the lettering was the most difficult part, I think I'll use some lettering stamps for small letters from now on
