What else can I help you with?
Can you mix oil paint with urethane paint?
Only if the urethane paint is not waterbased... Urethane Paint cannot be mixed with anything except other Urethane products. Urethane Paints do not work on the same principals as "oil based" paints. Oil Based Paints rely on evaporation to dry. Urethane cures. by chemical reaction.
Can you apply helman spar urethane over acrylic paint?
Yes, you can.
Thinner or reducer for oil based paint?
Thinner--specifically, mineral spirits. Reducer is used in urethane car paint.
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.

Can you apply lacquer over spar urethane?
Look at label on can if urethane is oil based it should be fine. Think of it like basic chemistry. Oil and water dont mix, xlene based products are used to strip oil, so if ur using a xlene base over oil thats a no brainer. The urethane I use is a xlene base so I wld never use over oil. Im just not sure if they sell a oilbased urethane so check the labels
What is urethane paint and how does it differ from other types of paint?
Urethane paint is a type of paint that contains urethane resin, which provides durability and a glossy finish. It differs from other types of paint, such as acrylic or enamel, in that it is more resistant to chemicals, UV rays, and abrasions. Urethane paint is commonly used for automotive and industrial applications due to its long-lasting properties.
Can you paint over oil based paint with normal paint?
There is no such thing as "regular paint" . There is oil based paint, alkyd paint, latex paint, epoxy paint, urethane paint and lacquer. They are all different and have different thinners and uses.
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.
Are enamel and urethane paint good to paint radiator covers?
Yes, they are.
Is urethane oil based and what are its properties compared to water-based urethane?
Yes, urethane is oil-based. Oil-based urethane typically has a longer drying time and provides a more durable finish compared to water-based urethane. Water-based urethane dries faster, has less odor, and is easier to clean up.
