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.
How do you prepare plastic to be painted with acrylic paint?
Depending upon the type of plastic, acrylic paint can be applied directly to the surface. Some plastics will repel acrylic paint, some are very smooth and the acrylic paint will easily scratch off and some have a slight tooth and provide the best surface for paint adhesion. The plastic must be chemically inert so that it will not react with the paint film over time. If the plastic repels acrylics, the surface can be prepared by sanding and roughing the surface to provide "tooth". Try using a very fine sand paper, such as #500 "wet sanding" black sandpaper to roughen the plastic's surface. After sanding, remove dust and coat with a layer of Matte Medium or Matte Gel Medium (let dry) and then one or two coats of acrylic gesso.

What are the differences between using acrylic over oil and using oil over acrylic in painting techniques?
The main difference between using acrylic over oil and using oil over acrylic in painting techniques is the compatibility of the two mediums. Acrylic paint dries quickly and forms a rigid layer, making it suitable for painting over dried oil paint. On the other hand, oil paint takes longer to dry and remains flexible, making it challenging to paint over dried acrylic paint. It is generally recommended to use acrylic over oil for better adhesion and longevity in the artwork.
