Sure you can but usually after about a year or so. Enamel is a soft paint and will load the paper. You paint with enamel so that you don't have to finish sand, in other words should be shiny when you are done. Use a fine grit of about 1000 and keep it wet so that it will cut easier. Keep an eye on the paper if little build ups of paint start appearing turn it over or start with a fresh peice. these paint spots will scratch the surface

What kind of paint do you use to paint a car?
Either a "one stage" enamel paint, which can run from $100-$200 a gallon or you can use a "3 stage polyurethane" which can run from $100-$2000 a gallon. 1 stage enamel paints require you to prime and then paint the car with 3 or 4 coats, with a good wet standing afterwards, personally, I use 1500 grit, and then you buff it. 3 stage paint is a little more difficult if you don't know what you are doing. Body work and primer are a must, then you spray your base coats, wet sand it with 1000 grit, spray your paint coats, wet sand with 1000 grit, then spray your clear coats, and wet sand with 1500+. 3-6 coats of each stage recommended.

Can you paint wet on wet with acrylic paint?
If you are trying for total coverage it's wise to let the first coat dry completely. If you are intending to do the true 'wet on wet' artist's technique where the bottom layer is still totally mobile then you have to approach it a little differently than the oil painting technique. Acrylic paint drys very quickly compared to oil so you have to work very quickly, use thicker layers of paint and use a water mist spray to avoid premature drying; this can be quite difficult. Alternatively use an acrylic retarder added to the paint and this will slow the drying of the acrylic paint. Be careful though too much retarder will virtually stop the paint drying at all. Acrylic retarders are available for most brands of artists acrylic paint usually where they sell the paint. It is best to buy the same brand as the paint to avoid incompatibility.

Can you use enamel spray paint to paint a bathtub?
Enamel paint can be used on porcelain or iron bathtubs with great results, so I'll walk you through this process, just in case you're unsure about how to do this.You Will Need These MaterialsWhite vinegar WaterTowel Palm sander 150-grit sandpaperRespirator mask Plastic bag Tape Epoxy enamel spray paint Oil based primer Oil based enamel paint 1200-grit wet/dry sandpaper InstructionsClean the bath tub thoroughly with a mixture of white vinegar and water. The vinegar will help remove any dirt or greasy residue on the tub. Rinse the tub to remove the vinegar and dry it with a towel.Equip a palm sander with 150-grit sandpaper. Sand the inside and the outside of the tub to roughen the surface, this will allow the paint to properly adhere to the bathtub.Remove the fixtures of the bathtub or cover the fixtures with a plastic bag. Tape the bag down at the base of the fixtures to prevent painting them when you paint the inside of the tub.Spray the inside of the bathtub with an epoxy enamel spray paint such as Krylon epoxy enamel paint. These paints are available at most home improvement stores and will resist moisture which is necessary for paint on the inside of a bathtub.5 Paint the outside of the tub with an oil based metal primer such as Rust-Oleum metal primer. Let the primer dry completely.Apply a coat of oil based enamel paint to the outside of the tub. Let the first coat of paint dry and then apply a second coat.Sand the second coat of paint with 1200-grit wet/dry sandpaper used wet. This will help shine the enamel paint.I hope this helps you out with your project! Good luck!--The Violet
