I have just sprayed Phoenix varnish over the running board of my model. The finish was a bit speckly so i wanted to re-paint over the varnish. I waited 24 hours then rubbed down but the new finish is worse . i think there was a reaction between the varnish solvent and underlying paint. Has anyone any experience of painting over a previously varnished model, or do i have to completely strip down and start again. Any advice much apppreciated

Paint isolator may do the trick

Hello Michael,

I have 'blinded' varnished surfaces with a coat of emulsion paint in the past on household doors and the like, it worked well and prevented solvent attack so I guess it would work in this case

It may be worth trying a coat of shellac. It can work as a good intermediate finish, binds to just about anything and most finishes will bind to it too. It is often sold as 'sanding sealer'.

Bite the bullet and strip the running boards completely and do the job properly. You are just making thing thicker and less detailed.

It hurts, but you will be pleased with the end result.
