I have a pony that I customized (a little) like 20 years ago (I'm so old) and since then she's seen some rough treatment across a bunch of moves and some of that paint was flaking off, plus I know a lot better what I'm doing now so I decided to just strip her down and start again. I noticed under the old paint there were little pony cancer spots. I have no idea if they were there originally. They *probably* were? There's also some general dinginess that I think would benefit from a peroxide UV bath. But I don't have the setup for that and frankly am not interested in making one at this time. I don't want to paint over the whole pony, I was thinking of covering her with a thin layer of pearlescent pigment but I worry a little about those spots either darkening or bleeding through the pigment. Anybody have experience with this type of thing? I know if it was sharpie or something, it would definitely bleed, but this is normal pony spotting. She's clean inside and out (has her original tail clamp and not even any rust) so I don't think it's mold? These spots aren't even that noticeable so I'm probably fussing over nothing. I just wanted to know if anybody had more experience with this. Also, sorry in advance for the eh...medical nature of this pic. My camera absolutely would not focus on these spots with any other framing. I think Firefly is a lovely pink but up close she does become rather fleshy.
