Want to hide the geometry but show paint marks on the surface

Hi all, beginner question. Like it says in the title I don't want my base geometry to show but I still want to paint on it. Creating an effect like the brush marks are floating. Haven't been able to figure this out yet.

Four steps:

1. Set Painter to use a shader that supports opacity - such as PBR Metal Rough with Alpha

2. Add an opacity channel in texture set settings

3. Add a fill layer to your model's texture set with the opacity enabled and set to 0

4. Add a normal layer and paint with your other material settings but make sure the material opacity channel is also enabled in your material settings and set to 1
