Can this be put over latex paint?

Yes, I have made many tables and cabinets using Poly/Acrylic finish. Allow the latex to dry 24 hours and use a foam brush with the grain. Avoid over brushing and apply 2 coats. This works with milk paint.

The tutorial I was following said this would NOT work for covering paint, latex or otherwise.

I don't see why not if they're sanded and cleaned first. However know that it is an oil based paint not latex so cleanup requires mineral spirits.

I believe that there is a newer model that can spray 'hot" , or flammable liquids such as lacquer or poly. But yes, this will spray any liquid with the consistency of latex paint.

it might work / painted surface could be any formulation and this stuff will bond with latex acrylics best / go over surface with steel wool or scotch or sanding pad to get a fresh clean surface then coat with vermont stuff / 3 or more coats ,foam brush ,wipe on or spray ,fine scotch pad before final coat / good luck / what-a-ya got to lose ;Ron ps if it doesn't work try a light coat of shellac before the vermont

I haven't; but, with enough air supply, and the larger tip, there is no reason latex paint, even if needing a small bit of thinning, can't be successfully sprayed with the gun. So far we have used timber oil, spar urethane and several enamels -- no problem. The gun is good quality and easy to clean and to care for.

It can. You just need to play with the dilution ratio and the psi. The more diluted the paint, the lower the psi setting you can use. This is important for me to reduce the overspray. However, if you dilute some paints too much (e,g., latex to 50%) then the sheen can look cloudy. Target 30 psi, which is per the manual, and you should do very well. I've had really great results with oil-based finishes. You certainly can have great results with latex; just be a little more careful.

It's not designed for that application this is a silicone used in freezers and glass case refrigerators that contain food. I suppose you could use it and don't think it will harm anything but I don't believe its paintable. Why not a latex caulk from Loews its cheaper maybe 3 bucks or so

I used it over Createx water based airbrush colors. I think it should work on top of acrylic paint. Make sure that coat is completely dry though.

Yes, I used latex paint with the sprayer. You will need to thin the paint, and spray multiple coats.

YES! This is really a thin paint or stain sprayer! It will spay latex but it seemed faster to just roll it on unfortunately. Well built gun though!

Yes it can spray latex paint. I sprayed sherwin Williams Super paint with awesome results on a large Bed Frame. I used Flat sheen because I wanted to put a clear coat after. Great results with the Minwax water base Polycrylic. Chalk Paint? I do not know.

I would not apply it over paint. I strongly doubt that it would adhere well and would not be maintainable. I would suggest maintaining the surface with the original paint instead.

I painted over this with Benjamin Moore enamel paint since I was refinishing a piece of furniture, but I can't see why you couldn't paint over it with acrylic paint...

We used it on a door over stain and it worked superbly. I would check with the manufacturer about using it over paint.

I've never had any problem using Latex paint, and it's vinyl, so I don't see how that could be a concern.

Although I haven't personally tried it, the general rule is oil-with-oil. So it's a bad idea since latex is water-based.

Hi, from what the manufacturer suggests, it is OK to paint over GOOP. I'm not sure about putting GOOP over the paint though. It may not adhere properly. You could try a test area first....This stuff is really strong holding. I hope this helps.
