Water borne paint can only be thinned with, guess what? Water.
Its its oil based then; Acetone Mineral turpentine (turps) True turpentine Naphtha White spirit Methyl ethyl ketone If its acrylic/water based then water
No, you use water to thin latex paint. Thinner is for oil based paint.
Paint thinner is nearly alwys used in oil based paints. If you mix it with mosts acrylic paint the paints it will be ruined - unless of course you have a solvent based acrylic - such as a thermoplastic acrylic.
can i use water base paint over oil base paint
You should not use kerosene to thin any paint. It will not mix with water based paints, and it is too dirty for use in oil based paint as an effective thinner. When using oil-based paints, Mineral Spirits is the preferred thinner for brushing and cleanup, while VM&P Naphtha is used for spray applications.
Yes. Clean and degloss the oil based paint, apply an oil based primer, then apply the water based paint.
If you are using latex, thin with water. If using enamel, thin with paint thinner.Always read instructions on the can. They always say what to thin it with.
yes, you can thin paint to use like stain. just thin with what ever you would clean it with. waterbase paint use water. oil base paints use thinner.
If it's an oil paint then you use oil. Paint that thinner or other petroleum-based solvent. If it's a water-based paint, use water. If it's an acetone-based paint, use acetone.
Yes. Clean and degloss the oil based paint, apply an oil based primer, then apply the water based paint.
One can use water to thin up a medicine ointment that is lotion based.
I can't verify this info, but a Hm Depot paint dept worker said:use up to 1/4 pint (4fl oz) of water for water based stain per quart- or paint thinner/mineral spirits for oil-based stain
