Fin backing cream

Yipes, been there Joe and there is no amount of paint that will hide those bleeding transparents. However you can thin down some of WASCO's fin-backing cream with water and airbrush over whatever you are trying to cover. The fin cream will dry clear and seal in the bleeding blue pigments. When it is dry then you can paint over those areas without the transparent colors bleeding through.


Strip it !

Hey Joe, wash it down with Lacquer thinner, let it dry and start over. Done it many time when I wasn't happy with my paint job. I have one shop bass that has been painted many times. I use it to try new ideas. Good Luck !


Thanks For your help!
