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.
Do you need special paper for acrylic paint?
general rule of thumb you can paint on anything with acrylic, but it certainly depends on your style. you will always need to prime your support before painting, use a waterbased Gesso, you can find this in all good art stores. Once your support is primed go and paint! I would choose something a little thicker that copy paper how ever ;)
Is acrylic the same as latex?
The basic difference between the two paints is that latex paint is water-based and acrylic paint has a chemical composition that gives it elasticity. (But, there are "acrylic latex" paints, with varying degrees and properties of both.) Outside house paints are moving away from latex to 100 percent acrylic because the latter easily expands and contracts with heat and cold. As a result it holds better than latex. And there is a difference in price. Latex paint is much less expensive, but remember that if you use latex over the more expensive acrylic, the surface will have to be painted again much sooner.

AnswerYes, use acrylic paint. Don't use enamel paint (like Testor's paints). Some popular brands use for painting miniatures are Citadel (games-workshop.com), Reaper (reapermini.com/Paints), and Vallejo (vallejopaints.co.uk). Primer is necessary as well. Read the bottle of primer to make sure it's okay for plastic.

Not really, oil paints would not take to the models well (especially the metal cast ones) and would not allow for much detail. Additionally oil paints would likely cost alot more than the recommended citadel paint.

How do you reuse an artist canvas?
There are several ways to reuse a canvas: (1) You may flip it over and paint on the back. (2) If the original painting is waterbased (acrylic, for example) you can paint directly over it with either acrylic or oil paint. But if the original painting was done using oils, you can only paint directly over it with oils. (3) If you prefer a white ground to start with, you can use a primer called "gesso" and apply it in one or more layers for a fresh start.
