Ralphie Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Just sprayed a body with a Pearl Wicked Color water base paint, first time I used it. Question is as it is water base I need to do a few things to it before I clear it. When I am ready to clear it can I wash the body in soapy water before I spray the clear, in other words is it washable with soap or will that damage the paint job. Thanks !

Ralphie Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 So I can't touch the body with my fingers ? I don't want to leave any oils on the surface. Haven't touched it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Haigwood Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I have never had a problem with it but I would why take a chance . Createx has a inter coat clear that will help protect it and you can tape some stripes on it without pulling up the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Roberto Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 If you're worried about oily fingerprints you could use latex gloves. I always use gloves after painting a model while working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
