I Making a seashell inlaid box . Would like to paint the box black and use this over the top. What type of paint should I use-latex or enamel?

As long as the paint is totally dry, you can use either latex or enamel. Personally, I like the look of enamel, but I also like the easier clean up of latex. The key is to make sure the paint is completely dry before applying the pour-on over the seashells.

I would use latex. The epoxy will stick better and the finished product will be just as glossy.

Acrylic paints usually work best and I have the least issues with bubbling or separating. Between latex and enamel, I would probably use enamel. I doubt you would experience any major issues with the latex but the enamel would give you a stronger bond with the surface material and better color consistency from pre-resin to dry dry resin.

I had the same frustration this year on my 2 year old AGP. This seemed to help quit a bit. First, purchase 1 quart of high quality exterior latex enamel paint (Behr). Air up the ring to about 80%. Clean the top half of the ring with a Dial liquid soap and water solution. Let dry. Air up ring again to about 90%, and quickly paint the top half of the air ring (above water line). I didn't even tape it off. Let paint dry about 2 hours and paint it again. Stay out of pool for 24 hours to allow paint to dry/cure. This should help you make it through the rest of the year. I only have to add air about every two days now (because I can't find the last pinhole). I figured I would get two years out of this AGP before it crapped out, I got 3 months to go! If I buy another AGP, the first thing I will do is paint the top half of the air ring at setup. GOOD LUCK.

Yes! I've used the white and Oyster White, both successfully. The Oyster White is the closest match you can get to Old English White. The benefit of Topside is the UV protection. Be sure to cut the paint. I did 1 part paint, 3/4 part mineral spirits, and 1/4 part Penetrol (found at Home Depot, used to help the paint lay flatter). I applied the paint with a high density roller and foam brushes where the roller couldn't fit. Two coats, then wet sand with 600 wet/dry paper to remove Orange peel. Two coats, then sand with 800. Then two coats and wet sand with 1000. Two coats then wet sand with 1500. Two coats then wet sand with 2000. A lot of work, but worth the savings IMO. Good luck! There should be a picture of my car in the review section. This was my first attempt at it. I very recently used the Oyster White and others have been HIGHLY impressed.

I painted my furniture with a good coat of grey paint then apply a black latex. Once it dried I applied the liquid crackle (comes liquid). The black paint (top coat) started to smear and become wet when applying the crackle and the grey paint (base paint) became visible. What a mess! Tried several times but gave up.

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...

The same type you would use for latex paint - just be sure to feather out the edges, etc. Good Luck

You did not answer the question. Is this Lacquer or Enamel? they are completely different kinds of paint.

If using latex paint, fill a clean jar with water, screw onto sprayer and spray until the internals are clean. Shake the sprayer to dissolve any internal paint that may be on the inside of the lid and on the pick up tube. Wipe the outside of the tip with a wet rag. When I take the jar off I remove the cork ring and carefully clean it as well as the inside of the lid. If using non-latex paint, do the same with what ever thinner is required. Obviously do this outside. The jars that contained paint can be cleaned, capped to hold the remaining paint until next time or thrown away as they are cheap to replace. If I throw then away I fill them with cat litter to absorb all the remaining liquid then cap them.

I would suggest lightly sanding the black with 150- 220 grit paper so new paint will grip well. If you can prime with something other than Latex, be better off on metal, perhaps rustoleum. I f you can get the paint in oil , would be best, but unlikely. Use gloss at any rate as harder finish I believe. The last option...Move ! Kidding Mark

lacquer over enamel will at the very least ruin everything. Thr lightest mist can cause a few paints to blister badly. Best idea is to spray a area not to be seen or PAINT ANOTHER OBJECT TO CHECK WHAT MAY WORK. I HAVE SEEN THE DULL COTE AND GLOSSCOTE USED ,BUT ONLY OVER WATERBASED PAINT. ENAMEL HAS ALWAYS BLISTERED ON ME. RAY

Hello. I've used it over dry painted acrylic surfaces for art, but not on latex.

My husband bought spray paint and a clear shellac from Michael's Craft Store. It didn't take long. Putting it together with special glue took the longest amount of time. I think it was cement for plastic in a tube.

This is has been a wonderful tempura paint selection. For the art we were doing, we mix the paint with a small amount of water. You can use less or more water depending on the type of effect you were looking for. I have not use Latex paint. These tempura paints well on white and quality construction paper with a lovely, vividly colored outcome.

I used the spray can and shot the whole cavity, came out smooth as glass and still looks great after months of use - make sure you have good ventilation. Guess it depends on whether you're covering a chip / scratch - I'd get the brush-on if available but for a larger area go with the spray and sand everything well before painting...

You probably could use spray paint. The application requires wetting the paper (self-adhesive), so if you used spray paint it would be after putting it up on the wall. That might be a daring endeavor to avoid overspray. I used an interior latex paint using a paint roller. It's a beautiful pattern and it mimics punched tin ceiling tiles. I used it to create a faux backsplash in a kitchen. I highly recommend this wallpaper; beautiful and a great buy.

humm. I do not really know, I imagine you might want something more rubbery, i think the rustoleum would rub off on the underside of a boat. I bet there are other products that are more durable and made for that purpose. There is something I cannot remember that helps paint stick to plastic and vinyl. it is a prep spay that makes paint stick better. If you use some paint like product that will help. I think if you research protecting spays you will find something better. I think there are rubber spays, that are stronger than plastidip, and that are not peal-able. You might want to research other products. humm. I do not really know, I imagine you might want something more rubbery, i think the rustoleum would rub off on the underside of a boat.

I did our beach house dinning room table, which takes a lot of abuse. The kit comes with a high gloss top coat paint. I am very please I used this product and I have had no issues with stains.
