I am guessing this is on the floor. This is probably a two component carbon bond coating. This means it is chemical resistant to even ketones. To recoat, you must use another epoxy or urethane mixture. To prepare the surface, it must be wet sanded with at least 220 grit water paper. After a good sanding, the surface must be cleaned with some sorta tack cloth. If you use a waxed based tack, do not press hard. This will cause transfere of the bees wax to the surface and cause poor adhesion. Anyway, get the surface clean as possible. Make sure the humidity is below 50% before coating the area. If you try to coat with humidity aboue 50%, you may get bubbles in your coating. They are caused by the coating trying to cure quicker than the moisture can escape. I hope you can use this information.

∙ 17y agoIf it is a true epoxy coating that is on the floor, and it is not coming up anywhere, you can clean the area with a pressure washer and degreaser, then you can put a two component epoxy on top of it, I recommend two coats, 24hours between coats.. one of the best on the market is Benjamin Moore 2 component polyamide epoxy. If it is subjected to uv rays you need to top coat the epoxy with a two component aliphatic urethane.

∙ 15y agoEpoxy can be applied over nearly any existing finish; however, what is being painted should be sanded lightly with 200 or finer grit paper prior to painting so that the new paint will bond better.

∙ 11y agoI,v got over 20 years inpainting. application, you know...learned it the hard way. painting over epoxy is always tricky.( I,m talking about the two part epoxy) if you start with epoxy and stick with epoxy, usually you'lldo just fine. any kind of latex paintwill lift off of epoxy. oil paint will stick a bit longer, but that's coming up to.thewhole point of epoxy is to have nothingstickto its surfaceso thatit cleans easy.you can try and strip it, messy and time consuming. now your mixing chemicals. one tip.. take a piece of sand paper, sand a small area. if what you sanded leaves dust.. I would paint that. if balls up or rolls? its the same as painting over rubber. hopes this helps.

∙ 16y agoYes youcan. However, the existing epoxy paint should be sanded to "rough" it up to make the new paint stick to it better.

Can you use latex paint over an epoxy painted wall. and what steps are needed?
You can definitely use latex paint over epoxy. In fact, it is recommended to use latex over epoxy by the paint manufacturers, rather than using epoxy over epoxy. The latex adheres better and if you then want to use epoxy next time you paint, you have a nice coat of latex between the layers. If you use epoxy over epoxy, often the paint will just peel off in layers once some time passes (and sometimes right away).

Was 1986 Chevrolet pickup painted with laquer paint and if so what sort of paint can i use without going down to bare metal?
Factory finish would have been an enamel paint. Even if it has been repainted, it is most likely enamel also. If the paint is old you can probably paint it with anything without it raising the old finish. If in doubt, you can spray a sealer on first and then the paint.
