Can you put lacquer over water-based paint?
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.
What is the best paint pen to use on acrylic paint?
You can use oil-based paint pens over acrylic IF the acrylic has not been applied too thickly. You can also use water-based paint pens. HOWEVER, you cannot use acrylic over oil. The difference in how these two mediums dry and cure can make the acrylic-over-oil crack.
Can you paint flat paint over an acrylic paint?
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.
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.

Can you put acrylic enamel over acrylic lacquer?
If the Enamel is an original baked finish there should be no problem. Many DIY touch up paints are made from Acrylic Lacquer. If however the enamel is air-dried then the solvents in the lacquer will react and cause the enamel to bubble and craze. Enamel paints become hard on the surface but stay soft underneath if not baked to harden them. The lacquer is able to penetrate this outer layer and react with the enamel paint.

Can 100 percent acrylic paint be used to paint over latex paint?
100% acrylic paint can definitely go over latex. Acrylic paint actually is the same thing as latex paint. Some manufacturers differentiate their products as 100% acrylic and also have a product called latex that is made of acrylic plus co binders and other additives. So while one is 100% acrylic and the other is a mixture they are both water based and considered latex.

Can you put enamel on lacquer paint?
Lacquer can cause the paint to bubble or crack due to the very hot solvent that is a part of lacquer. If you want a clear coat over paint, a better choice is spar varnish over oil base paint and arcylic urethane over latex.
