Can I paint over acrylic paint with gouache?

Yes, you can paint over acrylic paint with gouache, as gouache is water-based and can adhere to acrylic surfaces. However, for the best results, ensure that the acrylic paint is fully dry before applying gouache. Keep in mind that gouache is more opaque and may not adhere as well to glossy finishes, so consider using a matte medium or a light sanding on the acrylic surface if needed.

This is not entirely accurate, however, because highly-diluted gouache paints are translucent as well.
