The two most popular types of paint for interiors is Oil or Latex. Since you're asking about acrylic paint I would assume you are wanting to paint on the walls. You can buy interior interior/exterior paint at Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, etc. If you're asking can you use acrylic, tube type, paint on the walls, yes, you can. But, make sure you're walls have been pre-primed/painted with latex paint before doing so. I've done a few murals with cheap tube paint, such as Apple Barrel and the Michaels store brand paint, and the pictures turned out wonderful. Always remember that you CAN paint oil over latex, but not latex (acrylic) over oil. The paint will peel. Another thing to keep in mind: if you are going to paint a kitchen or bathroom make sure you use no less than a satin paint, preferrably a semi-gloss; you can't wash flat or eggshell and if condensation occurs you may see water lines form in the paint. Hope this helped! Have a nice day!

Can you paint flat paint over an acrylic paint?
Do you realize that you can get FLAT ACRYLIC PAINT. Flat paint refers to the gloss level. You may want Gloss, Satin, Lowsheen or Flat. Acrylic paint on the other hand refers to what the paint is based on or what binder is being used. Acrylic paint is also refered to as waterbased paint. You most likely are referring to putting flat acrylic over lowsheen or gloss acrylic. In answer to your question - as long as they are both acrylic than you will not have any problems. I am in this answer assuming that you are referring you house paints. If not than the same principle applies - acrylic over acrylic is fine. To keep acrylic from going glossy just don't polish it.
