Can you paint over enamel pottery?
Yes, with enamel paints.
How do you paint with alkyd?
In the past oil paints referred to either petroleum based paints or linseed based paints. Today in the USA petroleum based paints are no longer sold and it is difficult to find linseed based paints though they do exist with a small proportion of linseed oil. Alkyd paints are made with synthetic oil and are readily available and have come to be known as "oil" paint.
When oil painting on canvas can you paint over dry oil paints?
Over time, oil paints change chemically, so large areas will peel if painted over with fresh oil paint. A base should be used but that would not be conservation but repainting. Hard call.
How much has latex paint taken over from oil-based paint?
By the early 1990s water-based paints alone constituted over 75 percent of gallonage.
Can you paint over epoxy paint with latex paint?
Yes, but it may not stay on very well. Besides, epoxy paints are very hard and wear resistant, while latex paints aren't. If the epoxy paint was needed the first time, repainting with something much less durable might not be such a wise move.
Acrylic Urethane Paint What does urethane paint mean Enamel car paint vs polyurethane car paint Can you use exterior poly urethane over paint What type of prep to paint urethane over enamel?
I am not familar with "Acyrlic Urethane" paint, but I wonder if it is a urethane base paint that is applied and dried, but later has an acrylic clear-coat overlayed to bring out additional gloss. Urethane is more expensive, but lasts longer and is more durable than enamel or acrylic paints. Urethane and polyurethane paints are basically the same thing - toxic paints that require a complete body suit, full mask, and gloves for safe spaying while wet. I believe that Urethane paints are not allowed to be sprayed without a license in California. Applying different manufacturers urethane paints over each other without the proper advance preparation can cause chemical reaction problems that discolor or flake the paint and void the paint OEM warranty. Each manufacturer has their own urethane additive or primer that may allow their OEM paint to be applied over the original paint. You have to check with the paint distributor or manufacturer for details on this. This paint additive or advance preparation step is how many aftermarket paint manufacturers can make their own blend of paints to match the car manufacturer original fleet colors. However, paints made over 20 years ago may have chemical components that are not compatible with newer paints and may fail when Urethane is applied over them. For example I have a 40 year old VW that has OEM baked enamel paint on engine parts. If I apply urethane paint over the enamel, it will start to flake because of the engine temperature and chemical reaction between the paints. The best solution I have found for this enamel problem is to not take a chance - I strip the parts down to the bare metal and paint with a primer and then a black gloss urethane. Since the gloss component is already mixed in, there is no need for me to overlay with a acrylic clear coat.
What happens if you use an epoxy based paint over an acrylic or rubber based paint in a swimming pool?
Using incompatible paints can result in devastating results. Do an online search for Ramuc swimming pool paints. They have great information regarding what paints are compatible with others. I believe the web site is ramuc.com
How can you prevent water stains from coming over your freshly primed and painted wood?
If you used a good quality paint, there should be no possibility of water stains. Unfortunately, there are plenty of inferior paints that don't provide the protection that you need.
Why Is My Garage Door Paint Fading?
Garage paint can fade due to several reasons: Sunlight Exposure: If your garage gets direct sunlight, UV rays can break down the pigments and binders in the paint, causing it to fade over time. Quality of Paint: Lower-quality paints may not have UV-resistant pigments or binders, making them more prone to fading. Surface Preparation: Improperly prepared surfaces (such as insufficient cleaning or priming) can affect how well the paint adheres and resists fading. Environmental Factors: Harsh weather conditions, such as extreme heat or cold, humidity, and pollution, can accelerate paint fading. Age of Paint: Over time, even the best paints can naturally degrade due to exposure to the elements. To prevent or reduce fading, consider using high-quality exterior paints that are UV-resistant, ensuring proper surface preparation, and applying a protective clear coat over the paint if needed.
Do you prime a canvas before stretching?
Yes, it's generally recommended to prime a canvas before stretching it, especially if you're planning to use oil paints. Priming the canvas helps create a suitable surface for paint adhesion and prevents the oil from the paints from seeping into the fibers of the canvas, which can cause deterioration over time. However, some artists prefer to stretch the canvas first and then apply primer, allowing for easier handling. Ultimately, the choice depends on individual preference and technique.
Can you paint over zinc paint?
It is recommended to avoid painting directly over zinc paint as it may not adhere properly. Instead, you can apply a primer that is compatible with zinc-based paints before painting over it. This will help improve the adhesion and durability of the topcoat.
Why would an artist choose one paint medium over another?
Different paints create different effects/moods.
