Depends what your intentions are.If you're going full custom, age spots / vinyl deterioration don't seem to make any difference to paint (at least not that I've seen anyone mention). Plasticizer leech is a whole other ballgame and definitely does. For 'fixing' ponies (rather than full custom body repaint), painting over isn't recommended, as the paint's chemicals tend to do more damage to the underlying color/vinyl than whatever is being covered up in the long-term.
I paint over cancer spots when I can't get rid of them other ways and haven't had any ill effects. I'd be interested in seeing photos of where people have had issues with it, to see what they're getting.With slugger's colors, you might be able to get rid of the spots with a peroxide/sun soak. Ponies who tend towards more flesh colors seem to do better with this. I got rid of all the spots on my Baby Cherries Jubilee this way, as well as her yellow staining and stench from cigarette smoke.
Thank you, that's handy to know! I heard people had probs with paint peeling over cancer spots. I'll do a few tests and report back but it may be in5 years time
