Can I use this over a painted design to 'age' it? The base coat is latex; the design is painted with JoSonja paint. Will it lift the paint?

It will go over paint with no problem and you can work it into the details to make them "pop". However, I like it primarily for stained finishes. Another, and probably better technique with painted pieces is to use a tinted glaze -- you can better control the amount applied and wiped off, and you can use different colors (e.g., tea stain). Good luck.

Yes as long as the paint is dry. It may need to have a clear wax first. The darker wax sometimes will soak in if the surface is porous.

I looked on the Briwax site and found this helpful info: Briwax over paint - it tones down the paint, serves as an aging technique, and gives protection to the finish. For more information, visit our website - Briwax-TRG.com

Yeah, im sure you could. It is about the same consistency as standard latex paint, just slighty thicker.

We're using it on wood doorframe that one of our cats destroyed. I'm probably not the right person to ask because most of the white paint was scratched off prior to my applying. I did, however repaint and put tape over that without issue.

I painted a house with latex house paint and it did fine. I used a half cup of water per canister because the paint was not penetrating the shake shingle siding. But the first canister was used unthined and it worked well.Ron

This base coat is meant to be used with a top gel coat and then cured with uv light. I know that without the light the polish never and i mean never dries. I don't know if you could put regular polish over it. I feel like you would still need to use an uv light.

I think it should work. On the can itself it says what types of paint it can go over. Honestly, I used it for painting over a clear coat on a Jon Boat. It should work, but don't expect a very shiny finish.

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

If you are using it inside , I Do Not recommend it!!! We used Sherman Williams paint with primer with no thinning and it worked good but the over spray is terrible!! The snoozle where paint comes out will dry fast, need a wet cloth to wipe it and to cover while refilling

M/S paints are exceptionally good quality paints. Some of them are a bit thick, the high-gloss paints, more so than others. Paints also get thicker as they age. I don't know what the shelf life is on these paints, but I have found that they do tend to thicken to almost a "gel like" substance the older they get. Adding water is okay and does not effect the outcome of your project - as long as it's only a small amount of water. Too much water will make the paints lose some of the gloss effect and will not cover as thoroughly. If the paint is too gel like or too thick already, I would advise buying a new bottle (or set) to insure the best outcome for your project. The paint should Not be 'gel like' brand new. It should be thick but easily useable. A word of caution: Hobby and Craft stores, as well as Paint stores, often put their paints On Sale as they enter the end of their factory recommended shelf life. The paints are still good, but best used right away. Paints are also put On Sale as new colors hit the market and old ones fall out of favor, so not all paint 'on sale' has necessarily reached it 'sell by' date! I hope this info is helpful!

Depends on what you have. If your paint is faded or in bad shape it wont matter. If your looking at a new paint job, it adds depth and gloss to your base color. For a touch up for scratches you'd want to use clear to blend in the repair. I don't however recommend this brand for anything other than small repairs. IT has to much reducer and Flashes (dries) to fast. Normally a fast drying paint is what you want but this stuff is drying as soon as it leaves the gun.

It's just like any other paint. To paint over, I would lightly sand the surface first to give the new paint extra adhesion.

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

Yes. The vinylux white for painting worked for me. It's thinner than other companies so an extra coat of white was called for.

I use it as a base coat. I don't put it over my color, though. I don't know if that would make the product more effective if you did.

I returned the one I bought because it did not spray latex paint very well. I tried everything that was suggested, basically thinning the paint until it was practically water, and still the paint came out onto the test surfaces splotchy and spotted. I think it works better with oil based stains that are not very thick.

This is intended to make the paint more flexible after drying, making it great for fabric. However I wouldnt recommend it particularly for figurines, an acrylic model paint would serve you better.

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.
