Most acrylic will not adhere well to very shiny surfaces.
The answer to your question varies widely. . What kind of paint? House, car, boat, masonry? Interior or exterior? Lawn furniture or lawn mower? A clean, well prepared surface....or not? As a general rule the better prepared a surface is the more durable and longer lasting the paint will be. If you had two small pieces of 2x4 and painted the first one with exterior paint then set it outside in direct sunlight. The second one you lightly sanded with 60 or 100 grip sandpaper, wiped all the sanding dust off of it`and then applied a coat of exterior primer, let it dry and then paint it with exterior paint. The paint on the prepared (prepped) piece of wood could last indefinitely. While the paint on the hastily painted first piece would begin to degrade rather quickly in comparison. The sun and an unprepared surface are the most common reasons for paint failure.
Yes. Most vehicles are spray painted
Preferably paint that has not already dried solid inside the paint can. I would highly recommend this type for most any use on an interior or exterior surface.
Any kind you want. The term to look for is 'Exterior' paint. It is available in oil and latex bases. I recommend using latex exterior paint. Service preparation is the most important part of the process. Clean and dirt free, with no loose bits or chips.
Take the leaf or color that you want to the paint store. Most have a computer that can read the color and provide the recipe for the paint tint.
Semi-gloss paint most times exposes the metal of your car. It can lead to rust and erosion issues. Gloss paint is definitely the way to go.
You can buy a one-part, or precatalyzed epoxy that will give kitchen cabinets a durable and long-lasting finish. It can be found at most paint stores.
