Water based paint is often termed "latex based" and it is used for a vast amount of applications.
What is the best way to paint a football helmet?Just to collect not for use.
They have approximately the same drying rate. If you wish to speed things up a little, put a fan on in each room you paint to circulate the air.
It means, you can add pigments to it to change the hue a bit. Of course you can do this with any paint, as long as the pigment paste has the right kind of binding fluid (waterbased paint can only be tinted with waterbased pigment or coloring fluid). It can also mean, that there's a specific product (pigment paste) available that' suitable to add to this kind of paint.
Have a look at the clean up on the tin of paint, you will have your answer there, water clean up is waterbased, turps is oil based.
The paint finish doesn't significantly change the surface preparation necessary. If the paint is the same type (water based going over waterbased or enamel over enamel) then the preparation is simply: * cleaning, * remove loose material, * fill any holes or hollows, * sanding and * wiping, If you are changing the type of paint (eg: painting waterbased over enamel) you may need to use an etch primer to "key" the surface and give the new paint a texture to grip onto after sanding, and otherwise prepare as above.
Only if the urethane paint is not waterbased... Urethane Paint cannot be mixed with anything except other Urethane products. Urethane Paints do not work on the same principals as "oil based" paints. Oil Based Paints rely on evaporation to dry. Urethane cures. by chemical reaction.
Alkyd paint has a resin in it to help the oil in the paint dry faster, oil based paint in my opinion has a more vibrant colors, both in depth an brightness, waterbased seems to be toned down some-what. Wood paint can be either water based or oil based and even water soluble oil based. Oil based alkyd paint lately are used for things or areas that might receive abuse, and because of the slower drying time the oil based alkyd paint will show less brush marks then water based paint.
general rule of thumb you can paint on anything with acrylic, but it certainly depends on your style. you will always need to prime your support before painting, use a waterbased Gesso, you can find this in all good art stores. Once your support is primed go and paint! I would choose something a little thicker that copy paper how ever ;)
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.
No. Behr makes "100 percent acrylic" paint. As far as I can remember there's no latex at all in it. It's a waterbased coating that applies and cleans up like latex, but holds up better. It does NOT contain any alkyd.
