 Can I paint on top of an art resin surface? Yes, you can add paint on top of a project that already has art resin on it. You would just want to seal in your painting in between two layers of resin. If you do one layer and then you paint on top, you want to sand lightly around the painted area and then do a light layer of art resin over top just to make sure that there's no way that the paint that you apply can be scratched off or something like that. Some artists also use pigments and dyes as they're pouring their art resin to sort of paint as the art resin is curing. So keep your questions coming in the comment section below.
