Is this appropriate for finishing acrylic paintings?

Can't answer that as we used spray to put 3 layers over butterfly house and it is still cracking due to intense Florida sun and rain. However, it left a beautiful matte finish. Don't know if the original paint is what cracked or if the 3 coats of Krylon cracked. I was happy with initial results and hope to restore butterfly house if possible to its original beauty.

Yes, you can use it as a final protection coat. I use it in-between sections that I am working on so I don't lose a color or an effect I am going for.

it is gloss, however, it is not acrylic. it is lacquer. lacquer is better for plastic anyway. it works superbly on plastic.

I'm using mine to clean and aluminum patio but I wouldn't use it on and acrylic finish, I think the brush bristles are a little to stiff for that purpose. On tile or Marble it would to O.K. but not on what you want to use it for. I would just use a cloth and a bottle of soft scrub, it's like A-Jax only much more mild and won't scratch the finish on the acrylic tub.

You should probably use something over the picture, but I'd recommend acrylic due to weight concerns.

I have done this process myself and I didn't use a different acrylic layer. I did put a second layer after the glitter just to get a smoother finish. I was happy with just using the Mod Podge Hard Coat.coat.

Works tight through acrylic. It will lift the paint off but if you careful to just dab a little on it wont mess up the paint to bad. Cant recall ever using it on lacquer.

Probably pretty well. I haven't used it on clear acrylic only on a black molybdenum filled nylon. I used it for marking manufacture dates on the parts I made and it worked very well. All in all the tool worked better than I expected.

For sensitive acrylic projects, yes. Just the screw-on applicator tip would be fine. For most projects, just squeezing a liberal amount onto a visible seam/crack is all that is required. I have tips just in-case, but I've never needed them. Good luck!

Well, acrylic paint is like a rubber type of paint. Now there are many shower curtains that you don't want to get wet and they are in use. I suppose you could paint on it, but you would not want to have a pattern down were it usually gets wet a lot. You certainly can use it on a curtain that you place outside and it is for decoration and then have the thin clear inside panel. Seems like a lot of work in doing your art for this use which might not last. Also, inside of each tube there is not a lot of paint. This set is good for doing small pictures, but won't go very far. I don't think this is the set for you. The acrylic paint that is very rubbery is a bit expensive for what you probably need. Hope this lets you think a little, but I am guessing more if I was to want to do what you asked.

I wouldn't use this Krylon product on an oil painting. It works fine on objects like pine cones but does not deposit an even coat on flat surfaces like paintings. I've used it when nothing else is available to protect my photo prints.

Unfortunately, I have not had time to use it yet. The tube are rather large so I assume they would be good for several painting, as long as they are not extremely large pieces.

Definately, that's the only type paint I've used it for so far. I used the gloss finish and it turned out like a fine grand piano finish! I was in a hurry to get it done so I didn't take the time to do much adjustment to the amount of paint it was spraying, just tested it on a large piece of cardboard and it was O.K. but a bit heavy. I went ahead and used it that way and it worked fine but I used a lot of paint, in fact I ran out of the quart I had bought for my small chain link fence project and bought another quart. I now have a grand piano finish on a chain link fence, kind of overkill for the first project with this paint sprayer. I will attempt to paint a house next so I will definately try to adjust the paint volume I spray for that and not overdo it and be wasteful.

I used the gel stain to re-do the cabinet through out my home. I also used the water based poly as my top coat. It's not very thick. I had to use a few coats to get a good finish. I probably could have used a few more. There was no problem with the product. Just make sure you java gel is good and dry before you apply the poly acrylic

Sorry, I sent it back since I wanted something to blow out parts, etc.; however, that said, from what I saw of the item, it was well made and perfectly suited for the purpose of using with paint, solvents, so I would say it would probably work painting small areas.

Haven't tried that, but I'm sure it would be fine. Since this is for all acrylics, and works well on my custom-made professional acrylic model cases, and was recommended by name by the acrylics company.

I'm not sure since I only paint in acrylics. This is a question you'd have to either as an art instructor or ask an online art forum like www.wetcanvas.com or even write to Fredrix who makes the canavases (probably www.fredrix.com ?)

According to the instructions provided, the Aztek Airbrush System is compatible with acrylic and enamel paints as well as lacquers. I have used it with water based stains and dyes to touch up damaged areas on wood finished such as gun stocks and guitar bodies.
