cresting paints?

(1/1)

The Burnt Hill Archer:
does anybody have any expierience with using oil based paint for cresting? and if so, would a wipe-on poly work for a finish over it? im only going to be doing like a 1/2" stripe, and i have a lot of oil based paints not doing anything.

thanks!
Phil

Pat B:
Oil based paint will work fine for cresting and after it dries, poly over it will be fine.

The Burnt Hill Archer:
good deal, thanks Pat!

Hillbilly:
Acrylic craft paint works great too, and dries in minutes.

anglobow:
In my experience, an oil based finish will melt oil based paint, even when fully dry. I've only used model paint though. Acrylic paint with poly or spar urethane is a good combo.
