I'm trying to spray paint a guitar body with a gradient fade. I wasn't happy with some overspray splatter. I covered the paint I wanted to protect with a piece of cardboard and sprayed some white primer, but the neon pink Rustoleum I'm using is fairly translucent. I'm left still seeing the white line under it, as shown here. The blue paint is very opaque but the effect I'm going for is a sort of pink tropical sunset against blue sky. Overspraying pink into blue is OK but not the other way around. I can't just put down blue and spray neon pink given the transulcency of the pink - all the pink is over a white primer base. Is there a way for me to cover up or paint over the hard line without redoing primer over the whole thing?

You need to paint more layers, and for the gradient to work you need to fade the blue out into the primer ahead of where the line is. When painting a fade out like this you should angle the spray can so that you are spraying in the direction of the fade.
