Neither is "better", each has its purpose.

If one was used where the other was needed, the results would not be as good as if the proper one had been used.

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.

What kind of protectant is best for acrylic paint and why?

That is a question that you will get numerous answers too. There are many good waxes out there. I personally use McGuires products and love them. Wax is a protectant, and if used reguarly they are all good. Some just go on easier and protect longer than others. An alternative to wax is Acrylic paint conditioners, which are better for acrylic paints than waxes. Pure liquid non abrasive and self leveling, conditioners are absorbed into the paint. They make the paint stronger as opposed to covering it up with a wax built up.


What chemicals are in acrylic paint?

The binder of the acrylic paint is called "acrylic polymer emulsion," and it can be found in different forms, which can be referred to as the "acrylic mediums". The easiest way to make acrylic paint is to use Aqua - Dispersions of Pigments, which are completely ready to use when you buy them. Acrylic paint is fast drying that contains pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. This type of paint can be diluted with but are resistant to water when they dry. A finished acrylic paint can resemble an oil or water colour painting depending on how much the painting is diluted or modified with acrylic gels or pastes.
