Can you spray soft pastel fixative over acrylic paint?
You could. The question is why would you? If it's for protection, acrylics are darn near bullet-proof. They're what you'd use to protect something else. If you're using it to create a glossy sheen, you're better off by glazing the painting with gel medium, the stuff acrylics are made of without the pigment (color).Use gloss and not matte. Matte is just gloss (or gel) with tiny glass beads mixed in to give a more opaque appearance.
Can you paint gloss over matte?
Always prime first and make sure to key (sand) all surfaces, whether you are priming or not that is VERY important.The rule is: You cannot use water base paints over oil base paint. You may if you prime first. If your matte and your gloss are both water based, you may use the matte. When in doubt, please prime first.AnswerBeing in the painting business for nearly 10 years, the key factor to painting waterbase paint (in any sheen) over oil base paint is to sand, sand, and sand again. A regular primer will not add any adhesion to the surface - you need a high adhesion primer that is either oil or shellac base first, or a waterbase that is made specifically to grip to oil. Of course, I would skip this step entirely simply by sanding thoroughly - and using a waterbase topcoat that is good quality. Ideally you should use a paint that is made to stick to oil, such as General Paint's HP2000 or Dulux Diamond. But priming with a regular waterbase primer will not help to solve this problem and will be a waste of your time and money.
Do you need sealer over latex semi gloss paint to prevents food stains on cabinets?
Most semi-gloss paint is enamel which is extremely hard when dry. Semi-gloss enamel is used in kitchens, bathrooms and on doors, door jambs and cabinets because it holds back moisture and because it can be cleaned with soap and water. I can assure you that whatever type of food stains you are finding on you kitchen cabinets ( you must have kids :-) will occur as well on any sealer you might apply. If proper coverage was given when the semi-gloss was applied to your cabinets you should be able to wash them as often as you like without any problems.

What kind of sealer can be used over latex paint?
You should not need a sealer over latex paint. If you sealed the paint, it eliminates the breathing it is designed to have thus compromising the paint, and may cause it to peel together with the sealer.
