Once the paint is dried and cured, approximately two days, use a short napped roller or fine-haired wide brush to coat the wall with a good grade polycrylic. This is a water-based sealant that will not cause a reaction by introducing an oil-based sealant, like polyurethane, to the painting. If you use a sealant that is not water-based, there is a very strong chance of the painting darkening or becoming yellow. I work as a professional acrylic artist and have had good results with polycrylic. It can be picked up in most home improvement stores. Semi-gloss works best because of glare, but gloss works in some situations where glare is not a problem.
What else can I help you with?
Is Using minwax Polycrylic clear coat over latex paint fine?
You cannot paint over slightly tacky latex paint with a water based polycyclic finish. You should always wait until the latex paint is thoroughly dry before painting over it.
Can you mix satin finish paint with eggshell finish paint?
More important is, that both paints are of the same kind (like: oil-based paint, acrylic paint, latex paint). Semi-gloss is more easily painted over then high gloss, but first better find out what the old paint layer is made of. Check with the help of alcohol - if paint comes off in any way when you rub it with a cloth of alcohol, it's latex or acrylic paint (and can be painted over with acrylics).
Can you use a latex primer under enamel paint?
Latex paint can be used as a primer but the results may not be what you want. Primer is less expensive than latex paint and has special qualities that create a seal and help the finish layer of paint adhere better. In the long run you will save time and money by using the correct product for the job.
Do you need a special product to cover eggshell before painting over it with flat paint?
Egg shells (used in many craft projects) are quite porous, and will give your paint an excellent ground. Remember however a flat paint will not be very durable (it should not be washed or cleaned) so consider a clear top coat in what ever gloss factor you like. If however if you are asking about the paint finish called eggshell (one having the ability to be gently washed) then it will depend on the age of the "eggshell" paint, the composition of the two (eggshell & flat) paints and the colour of the "eggshell". If the "eggshell" is older than a year, latex or acrylic based and a light colour, then a good washing with TSP or some other gloss remover, and going over it with one or two coats of a good quality flat latex, oil or acrylic paint should do the trick. Oil paint can be directly applied over latex, acrylic or oil... Latex can be directly applied over latex or acrylic but not oil... Acrylic can be directly applied over latex or acrylic but not over oil. If the "eggshell" is less than a year old, oil based or a deep colour, then a good quality primer coat will make the job go much smoother. (Note- use an oil based primer if the "eggshell" is oil based, you can then top coat with any paint formula)
What type of paint should be used for exterior wood?
You can use regular latex house paint to protect the trunk and to detect any damage that might occur although there are other special paints that are also insecticides , that kill and repel ants and other destructive bugs.

Can you paper over washable wallpaper?
Wallpaper placed over washable paint is a bad idea if the paint has a latex base. The latex will be dissolved by the glue in the wallpaper and it will not adhere very well.

What is a durable paint to use in a bathroom?
To paint a bath room you will need a interior paint. Any paint with lead base in it should do the job just fine. The best paint for a bathroom would be latex because they wipe down easily. Avoid lead paints because of the health risks!
Can I paint over existing paint?
Yes, you can paint over existing paint as long as the surface is clean and in good condition. It is important to properly prepare the surface and choose the right type of paint for the job.
Can you put an oil based paint over a latex primer?
You can use it, but it won't last long. Use an oil based primer for oil based paint. The oil-based paint will eventually break down the latex primer. Latex can be painted over oil-based primer, but not the other way 'round. Kilz is your best bet for priming over wood cabinets. Kilz hides things like knot holes, burns, water damage, etc. If your cabinets have knotholes, I would dab the knotholes with primer, let dry, then paint everything with your particular primer. A quick scuff with 150-grit sandpaper would be a good idea also. Hope this helps, if so, please "Recommend Contributor"

No, you should not apply primer over paint. Primer is meant to be applied before painting to help the paint adhere better to the surface. Applying primer over paint may not provide the desired results and could affect the overall finish of the paint job.
