Sounds like you didn't prime it , or possibly didn't stir the paint up from the bottom of the can.

Another reason could be because it was a dark color that was painted in higher humidity, or it was recoated too soon. Either way, you'll have to wait for the paint to dry before attempting to recoat.

Can you paint enamel over latex?

Enamel is a word used to describe a finish, not the formulation of a paint. It simply means a hard reflective surface. Many people mistakenly use the word enamel when referring to oil based paints. So. if you are asking if you can paint latex or acrylic paint over a latex or acrylic enamel the answer is yes, however, I strongly recommend you sand the old paint first to give the top coat "tooth".

Check with a reputable paint retailer for the best brand in your area.


What kind of paint can you put on alkyd enamel primer?

Alkyd Enamel is really old school primer. I personally would sand it with 400 wet/dry and put a coat or two of an epoxy primer over it then you can put just about any type of paint on it. If you don't want to do that, probably your best best would be n Enamel top coat , You can still get Automotive Enamels but they will be expensive because the EPA is really cracking down on the solvent based finishes. Color selection may also be limited but they are out there. And even if you use an enamel , you should clear coat it with a Urethane Clear. IT helps protect the base coat from fading and gives a great gloss when buffed. I have painted a lot of cars with Enamels and they go on fairly heavy so watch out.

Mixing a satin with a semi-gloss will still be reasonably close to an "eggshell" finish. The best way to know is to use the chart below and add the 2 sheen level percentages together and divide by 2.For example a low sheen (satin) is 20% sheen + Semi-Gloss which is lets say 50%20+50=70 divided by 2 = average sheen of 35% giving you an eggshell finish.Flat (1-9% gloss)Low Sheen (10-25% gloss)Eggshell (26-40% gloss)Semi Gloss (41-69% gloss)Gloss (70-89% gloss)
