Default can I put a heat transfer over another ink process?
I am a newbie here, and I was wondering....can I spray say a Jones Tones glitter or metallic paint onto a T (with a airbrush spraypaint effect), then when it is dry can I put a plasticol tranfer overtop???
And if so, are there any precautions I would need to worry about?? Thanks~

I really don't see why not, but check with your paint manufacturer and see what they might have to say about heating the cured paint to 320 degrees.

I think Brian gave some great advice. I would check with the paint and transfer manufacturer to see if it is possible and safe to do. ...... JB
