Acrylic Urethane Paint What does urethane paint mean Enamel car paint vs polyurethane car paint Can you use exterior poly urethane over paint What type of prep to paint urethane over enamel?
I am not familar with "Acyrlic Urethane" paint, but I wonder if it is a urethane base paint that is applied and dried, but later has an acrylic clear-coat overlayed to bring out additional gloss. Urethane is more expensive, but lasts longer and is more durable than enamel or acrylic paints. Urethane and polyurethane paints are basically the same thing - toxic paints that require a complete body suit, full mask, and gloves for safe spaying while wet. I believe that Urethane paints are not allowed to be sprayed without a license in California. Applying different manufacturers urethane paints over each other without the proper advance preparation can cause chemical reaction problems that discolor or flake the paint and void the paint OEM warranty. Each manufacturer has their own urethane additive or primer that may allow their OEM paint to be applied over the original paint. You have to check with the paint distributor or manufacturer for details on this. This paint additive or advance preparation step is how many aftermarket paint manufacturers can make their own blend of paints to match the car manufacturer original fleet colors. However, paints made over 20 years ago may have chemical components that are not compatible with newer paints and may fail when Urethane is applied over them. For example I have a 40 year old VW that has OEM baked enamel paint on engine parts. If I apply urethane paint over the enamel, it will start to flake because of the engine temperature and chemical reaction between the paints. The best solution I have found for this enamel problem is to not take a chance - I strip the parts down to the bare metal and paint with a primer and then a black gloss urethane. Since the gloss component is already mixed in, there is no need for me to overlay with a acrylic clear coat.
What the difference between acrylic paint n fabric paint?
They are practically the same. I paint with fabric paints most times actually
If you paint a design on a shirt or other clothing with acrylic paint-can you wash it without washing out the acrylic painted design?
If you use regular acrylic paint it may crack and peel in the wash. Mind you, acrylic is pretty permanent on fabric, as you will know if you've ever accidentally spilled some on your clothing. To be sure of your end result, there is a solution sold in most craft stores (usually in the same place as the acrylic craft paints) that can be mixed with your paints to make it more durable on fabric. I've been using it for years and have had excellent results.
Is acrylic the same as latex?
The basic difference between the two paints is that latex paint is water-based and acrylic paint has a chemical composition that gives it elasticity. (But, there are "acrylic latex" paints, with varying degrees and properties of both.) Outside house paints are moving away from latex to 100 percent acrylic because the latter easily expands and contracts with heat and cold. As a result it holds better than latex. And there is a difference in price. Latex paint is much less expensive, but remember that if you use latex over the more expensive acrylic, the surface will have to be painted again much sooner.

What paint to use on a glass mirror?
Regular craft enamel and acrylic paints work reasonably well on glass. If you are afraid of the paint washing or chipping off, you can buy diamond sandpaper that will help the paint grip the glass without leaving scratches on the glass, or you can buy a spray.For a better look, easier application, and amazing results, there are craft paints designed specifically for glass application. These paints have a consistency designed for easy application and a range of translucency from clear to completely opaque. They also have varying textures available, to closely resemble actual stained glass.Hobby stores like MichaelsArts & Crafts carry a multitude of glass paintcolors and other product to help in application and durability. Look for glass paint brands from Decoart®,Martha Stewart Crafts™and Americana®.
Is latex paint the same as enamel?
"flat" paint is flat flat -- no sheen at all. My understanding is that "flat enamel" has a very slight sheen -- like about 6%, which supposedly makes it a little easier to clean than the flat flat paint. But, it's pretty hard to distinguish one from the other.
Is tooth enamel and paint enamel the same?

What is the difference between acrylic and emulsion paint?
The main difference is that acrylic is water based and enamel is oil based. You can almost always tell the base of a paint by looking at the 'cleanup and thinning ' instructions. Oil based enamels are indeed oil based, however, there are many water based enamels on the market. Enamel designates that the surface is hard.
