Best Answer

This depends on the type of enamel paint used:

Floor enamel - May be used for concrete, stairs, basements, porches, and patios.

Fast dry enamel - Can dry within 10-15 minutes of application; good for refrigerators, counters, and other industrial finishes.

High-temp enamel - May be used for engines, brakes, exhaust, and BBQs.

Nail-enamel - Nail-polish.

Model building - This paint is usually sold in 14 ml tinlets (in the UK) and is available through specialist hobbyshops.

You should always use enamel model paints for model making. These paints, by Humbrol, Pactra, Testors and others are good for use on polystyrene and far outlast the acrylics.

What can you use to paint over enamel paint on the walls?

You can use either enamel (oil-based) paint or latex (water-based) paint. If you are using latex paint, you need to use a primer (undercoat) first. The paint store will have a special primer that allows you to paint latex over enamel. If you are going to do this, it is also a good idea to either sand the enamel paint before you paint over it, or wash it with TSP (trisodium phosphate) cleaner to remove the gloss.
