I painted my bathroom vanity with flat latex paint and did a small stenciled design w/metallic acrylic paint. Will this dull the metallic finish?

I would say yes, it would dull the effects of the metallic paint. Since this is a wax it creates a barrier that will cause a slight clouding of any finish. I would really suggest this for only unpainted or stained woods since it will bring out the grains in those. I can't really see this working well for any painted finish. However, I would be happy to try it out and let you know how it reacts!

I don't know specifically, I have. Diamond bright finish. By the way, this particular stopped circulating after two months. I would not recommend it.

Not acrylic. It says for ultra-hard gloss finish on wood, metal and more. I hope that helps you.

Yes, Fusion spray paint made by Krylon does give a nice glossy finish. Easy to apply and works well on plastic surfaces. Covers very well depending on the color of the item you are painting.

I tried it on finished bathroom woodwork and it did not seem to work. It did not seem to affect the finish of the woodwork though. I suggest experimenting more on finished woodwork.

For laying the color i'm sure it is fine. For metal or wood, if you want it to last you must use the appropriate primer (Metal) or Bonder (Wood). It will only stick to a surface as well as it can bond to it. (I like my Martini, Shaken not Stirred). Anyway, I have just began to use it with an airbrush. It having such a broad range of colors, allows for simpler blends. Then I will use the stencil with the type of artwork I am using.

Absolutely--I painted my to match my cabinets. First, sand lightly to dull the surface, then paint with two coats. Turned out great. I did the painting before I did assembly.

Gloss paint yes, Flat no. Use least abrasive for painted surface and test in an area that won't show. Be VERY careful not to rub thru. What kind of coating on plastic surface?

Hi Carole, The Sargent paint is acrylic water base so if you are painting over anything other than water based acrylic I would recommend a primer coat. The Sargent paint had a very nice metallic shine once dried. I have 5 of their metallic based paints in blur, red, copper,silver and gold and all have worked wonderfully on canvas, wood and primed metal. If being used outside or around water you should finish with a water based water proofing sealer. Hope this helps. Ed Huffine EAH Abstracts

I use it mostly on wood but, used wet, it will put a mirror shine on brass quickly so I would expect it to work similarly on silver. When wet sanding brass, even the finest, 12,000 grit, pad will remove material pretty fast (considering that it leaves a mirror finish) so be careful when using it on silver if you have fine detail or a plated surface. Sometimes the only thing silver needs to restore it's high gloss is to remove the tarnish so a chemical silver polish works very well if you don't have scratches to polish out.

It really just chemically cleans oxidation and staining off the surface of the metal, which gives the metal a clean, glossy, "polished" look. That's assuming you are using a non-abrasive media to work it on the surface you are polishing. If you do use an abrasive media, such as some of the felt wheels for a Dremel, you will get a better finish than just applying with a non-abrasive media.

I always buy gloss. I am not aware if it comes in satin or matte finishes. There are so many different types of plastics that I cannot say that it works on "all" plastics. I have sprayed it over THIN washes of acrylic artists' paint on canvas and other materials. I have had problems with spraying this over over acrylic clear sprays, like Krylon Crystal Clear. Sometimes the paint surface buckles. I have sprayed it over DRY gold and metal leaf with good results. It also seems to work over DRY gold size, a type of varnish. I have also tried it on fiberglass furniture with high gloss finishes. Sometimes it will not take on this type of surface. I have also sprayed it on small pieces of metal jewelry (but usually prefer not to do this). Hope this helps. You should probably experiment in scraps of different types of plastic.

The more coats you apply the shinier it gets. It is not a "high" gloss but is shiny. I used this on my bathroom cabinets and only applied 2 coats however I applied 3 coats to my kitchen cabinets and there is a little more gloss to those. I wanted to protect them from the more wear and tear they will receive.

Yes it gives you a nice smooth glossy finish.Great for applying decals so they don't silver

Hi I wanted a metallic gold to paint onto the 'leaves' of a book cake to give the impression of goldleaf edging. It does need a few layers on fondant but it is shiny gold. I didn't use it in a spray so don't know how that looks ...I used a paintbrush.

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

You know I'm not really sure. I threw out the can so I couldn't check.Rust-oleum makes a tub and rule refinishing kit that says on it epoxy acrylic formula... But the aqua finish one doesn't say....Sorry wish I could have helped...:/
