Yes in some cases. In my fine wood finishes, I routinely use water soluble dyes under solvent finishes. For home interior trim woodwork I often apply either water based or oil based primer under oil paint top coat with equal results. In either case, the water based product must be extremely dry before they are covered with solvent top coats.

Can you put an oil based enamel over an acrylic laytex paint?

It is very easy to coat enamel paints with acrylic paints but you really should pay attention to a couple of points if you want it to be successful. Always sand the the enamal well and fill any holes with lindeed putty then apply a good coat of undercoat. I use an oil based undercoat first and then several days later sand the undercoat lightly and coat with acrylic all purpose undercoat. Once you have done this you can apply acrylic top coats. If you are using a self priming type acrylic paint on external work, you could skip the acrylic undercoat and apply it straight on to the oil based undercoat but you must leave it for several days to dry completely before coating with acrylic. I have used both methods over the past 5 years and both have not shown any sign of problems to date.

Be careful applying lacquer as a top coat over latex or water based paint. The paint will often "craze" (bubble or sag) when lacquer is applied to it.


Can you put Thompson's water seal over latex paint?

You will want to either prep-sand the wood, or apply a chemical prep, available at a paint store. The wood is now classed as sealed. You need, as pointed out to sand the surface use a 120 grit sandpaper then wipe fully to remove the dust, it is then the job of the undercoat to make a base for the final coat. This is important as you will need an OIL BASED undercoat. Water based will not help you and will not adhere correctly. The reason for the undercoat as well is to help the colour definition of the top coat. Its assuming that the wood is going to be outside (as it was water proofed initially) . If this is the case use a good exterior grade top coat or it will whether very quickly


Can you paint over a water based enamel with a water based acrylic?

Yes. We use oil primer on all our out door projects. Not sure why you would want to though. If I was going to put another coat on, why would it be clear? You should just put another coat of whatever color is up there now.

Can you paint woaterborne enamel over oil based undercoat?

Can you paint over oil paint?

yes..paint KILZ on first Or paint any oil based primer first if your topcoat is water based. Kilz is a stain kill primer and even though it dries fast, it tends to be hard to sand. An enamel undercoat works much better as a bridge. If you're using an oil-based top coat, you do not need a primer, just make sure that the surface is clean and gloss free.

How should I apply water-based polyurethane over an oil-based stain for the best results?

To apply water-based polyurethane over an oil-based stain for the best results, make sure the stain is completely dry before applying the polyurethane. Lightly sand the stained surface to ensure adhesion, then apply a thin, even coat of water-based polyurethane using a high-quality brush or roller. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying additional coats as needed.
