For external wood, it's best to use a high-quality primer or undercoat specifically designed for outdoor use. Look for products that offer mildew resistance and good adhesion to ensure durability against weather elements. Oil-based primers are often recommended for their excellent sealing properties, while water-based options can provide quick drying times and easier cleanup. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for optimal results.

Can you paint enamel paint over acrylic paint?

It is very easy to coat enamel paints with acrylic paints but you really should pay attention to a couple of points if you want it to be successful. Always sand the the enamal well and fill any holes with lindeed putty then apply a good coat of undercoat. I use an oil based undercoat first and then several days later sand the undercoat lightly and coat with acrylic all purpose undercoat. Once you have done this you can apply acrylic top coats. If you are using a self priming type acrylic paint on external work, you could skip the acrylic undercoat and apply it straight on to the oil based undercoat but you must leave it for several days to dry completely before coating with acrylic. I have used both methods over the past 5 years and both have not shown any sign of problems to date.
