: I am going to burn (pyrography) an image of an Osprey coming in to catch a
: fish on the deck of my Pygmy Osprey Std. I'm worried that the chest and
: white areas on the wings won't show up well when I epoxy and fiberglass
: it. Can I paint the white areas with a paint and not have it affect the
: adhesion of the epoxy and fiberglass? If so, what kind of paint? Would
: acrylic paint do, or should I use something else or just leave it bare
: wood and hope it gives the effect of the white chest etc.?

I had a friend burn an eagle on my yak. One tip I would like to give is to burn it a little darker than an 'indoor' burn. In the bright sun the burn is harder to see. She was able to do it without painting. I will show her this link.
