First *attempt* at a custom

Acetone is fine to use, you just need to make sure to get all the residue off.  Get some 97% rubbing alcohol and clean the pony with it thoroughly after you're done using the acetone.  You'll have the same issues with any paint remover if you don't get it all off.

What she said, a good cleaning after-wards can help.  And while I know most pony customizers do not do this model horse folks do, we prime our models first when it comes to painting.  Seals everything in and gives you a nice clean slate to work from.

Im ashamed to admit that i ALMOST finsihed my first pony and then had a brilliant idea for my next one and couldn't wait and pushed her to the back burner untill im done my second one 
 
i feel a little pang of guilt when i look over at her almost completed form staring back at me with sad unfinished eyes

Aww don't feel bad!  Maybe it's good to take a break and work on something else for a bit!
