Can acrylic paint be used on metal indoors?

Answer 1

You should be wary of using acrylic paint outdoors because it is not water resistant. If it rains, it will wash off or be destroyed by extended sunlight. If you use a lacquer to cover the paint, it may last longer, but oil paints are much more preferable. They can last 4-5 years and do not wash off in the rain or bake off in the sun.

Answer 2

Yes you can. As part of refurnishing your house for a make-over, you can take risk and decide how you want. The first step for using acrylic paint is by having the basic knowledge when it comes to properties of metal and the actual paint. Upon deciding, you can then add a primer coat. Allow it to dry. You have to make sure that everything is fully dry so you can now apply the new paint into your pine bedroom furniture or any other house furniture. Also please keep in mind that if it is metal, oil-based primer is needed because water soluble primers doesn't work with the metal surface.

Answer 3

You possibly can, but I prefer not to use it directly on the metal. I always prime metal with an auto body grey primer spray. After this you can use almost anything, but if I want it to last many years, I always finish it with an enamel type paint.

Answer 4

Not a good idea, it will not last. Use a good anti-rust metal paint like Tremclad.

Answer 5

I have tried this and never got good results. It always seems to flake off a few weeks after drying.

Answer 6

Always follow the product use instructions of any paint.

Answer 7

Yes, but prime it first.
