I painted my first blue gill sunfish and it turned out good, until I put the glimmer green on and then put the wet look coat on after that, the green really took over and does not look good anymore, the question I have is, can I take the paint and the clear coat off with minerial spirits and start over?
thank you again Judy

It warns you that the glimmers WILL take over a fish. You have to paint it under an INCANDESCENT light and you can see how much is going on. Flourescent lights don't work.
can I wash it off? without hurting the fish?
... a little candy brown over it lightly to tone it down. If you're going to strip it anyways, it's worth a shot.
Actually, I've come up with a few slick paint schedules this way - by making "mistakes"...
Your answer is yes you may take the paint off and start over.
I always find it's better to start over than to over paint a fish.
To remove the paint, use acetone, a paint stripper or my favorite is cover the eyes and use a sand blaster. carefully on the fin's
Use all in a well ventilated area.
