Masonry paint can be applied over emulsion, but it is essential to ensure proper surface preparation. The emulsion should be clean, dry, and free of loose or flaking paint. Additionally, using a primer designed for masonry can enhance adhesion and durability. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for compatibility and best practices.

Yes, masonry paint can be used over an undercoat, but it's important to ensure that the undercoat is compatible with the masonry paint. The undercoat should be fully dry and properly prepared to ensure good adhesion and durability. Additionally, check the manufacturer's guidelines for any specific recommendations regarding the use of undercoat with masonry paint.
Paint or Stucco
Yes, it is possible to paint stucco surfaces. Prior to painting, it is important to clean and prepare the surface to ensure proper adhesion of the paint. Use a high-quality exterior paint and consider using a primer designed for masonry surfaces for best results.
To remove masonry paint from carpet, start by scraping off any excess paint with a dull knife. Blot the stain gently with a cloth soaked in warm, soapy water to lift the paint. If the stain persists, use a mixture of vinegar and water or a commercial carpet cleaner, testing it on a small area first. Blot until the stain is removed, then rinse with clean water and let the area dry.
As long as it is architectural or house paint, you can use it in a bathroom. However, an exterior grade paint will not wash or scrub as well as a paint formulated for interior use so a 100% acrylic interior paint in an eggshell or glossier sheen would be recommended.
Bricks blocks or stone
For masonry wall surfaces, it is best to use a high-quality acrylic latex paint designed specifically for masonry. These paints offer excellent adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to moisture, helping to prevent peeling and damage. Additionally, masonry-specific paints often contain additives that inhibit mold and mildew growth, making them ideal for both interior and exterior applications. Always ensure the surface is clean and properly primed before painting for optimal results.
Oil based paint is not water soluble and so needs paint thinner to clean the brushes etc.
