Will enamel paint go over acrylic paint?

If you are painting a residence the chances are your enamel is a water borne acrylic enamel. Conversely, if you are referring to acrylic and enamel spray cans then the answer is yes you can spray one to another without any problems. Always be sure your paint is completely dry before applying successive coats.


Will latex paint go over WD40 oli?

Latex paint will go over WD40 but will not adhere. I work at paint stores and we spray our mixing tables with WD40 so that the paint cans will slide easily and any spilled or splashed paint will peel off if dried.


Can you paint over latex paint with water based enamel paint?

I don't believe there is 'water based enamel' -that's a contradiction. Answer If your previous paint is glossy, trying washing it with TSP (or substitute) and lightly sanding it. Try the latex to see if it will adhere without bubbles. Give it plenty of drying time.


Do you use flat or semi gloss paint for the ceilings?

You will have no problem painting satin over top of flat paint. Just remember to use the appropriate paint that will stick to the old coating. If the old coating is latex (water based) you can go over it with latex or alkyd (oil based) paint. If the old coating is oil based you can only go over it with oil based paint or a hi performance latex that is specialy made to go over oil. Most latex will not stick to oil based paint.


Is latex semi gloss and latex semi gloss enamel the same?

Close to the same. Enamel just means that it's a hard finish. If you're painting a door, trim or anywhere that will be handled often and you must use a water based paint, an enamel is the way to go.

How do you paint over oil enamel with water based latex?

You don't. It will peel off. There is a special paint for glass. Go to the craft store and find the paint for glass. In the 1930's there was an art form called reverse glass painting that you may want to learn about. This is still done in movies for special effects.
