Can you paint enamel paint over enamel paint?

Yes you can paint enamel on silver. The problem will be that the paint will not be permanent because the process of enameling on silver is one involving heat. Since you won't be using enameling pigments because it is standard paint, the paint cannot combine into the silver.


Why would enamel spray paint eat through a layer of enamel spray paint?

Enamel in the spray can will not dissolve an existing coat of the same paint. There is something else going on there. Double check the can(s) to be sure you are using the same product. It sound like you applied something other than enamel to the existing surface.


What can you use to paint over enamel paint on the walls?

You can use either enamel (oil-based) paint or latex (water-based) paint. If you are using latex paint, you need to use a primer (undercoat) first. The paint store will have a special primer that allows you to paint latex over enamel. If you are going to do this, it is also a good idea to either sand the enamel paint before you paint over it, or wash it with TSP (trisodium phosphate) cleaner to remove the gloss.


What can you use as paint thinner?

If you are using latex, thin with water. If using enamel, thin with paint thinner.Always read instructions on the can. They always say what to thin it with.

What is the difference between acrylic enamel and enamel?

Enamel paint is oil or alkyd. Alkyd paint is probably the most well known type of oil paint available on the market. The word alkyd actually refers to the synthetic resin used as a binder in the paint. This would be the oil in the paint, most commonly vegetable oil. Alkyd paints also come in a wide variety of finishes making it ideal for multiple different projects. Alkyd paint is very resistant to normal wear and tear. Thus, this type of paint is used commonly in "high traffic" type areas. This would include doors and trim within a home and also items that would need painting in the kitchen and bathroom such as cabinets. The alkyd paint will hold up to all the abuses that may come its way. Acrylic enamel is a water based full gloss usually for interior surfaces only. The gloss is nearly as high as gloss enamel but it is not quite as durable. One advantage is that if you are using white it does not discolor over time as much as alkyd based enamel. Also from a professional point i have never found the finish to be as good as enamel with less than three coats.

Does paint contain lead?

You can buy LeadCheck lead test kits at hardware stores and lumber and home improvement stores. They are fairly cheap and work well enough if you don't happen to own a mass spectrometer.These kits work sometimes and are not approved by HUD. If children are involved, find a DEQ or EPA lead inspector to test thoroughly.In any building painted prior to 1978 with children or pregnant women using it, assume lead paint is present and follow lead-safe work practices for any remodeling or paint disturbing.DEQ is Department of Environmental Quality. EPA website has more info on lead paint dangers and managementGoogle LEAD INSPECTORS or Dust Sampling Technicians. They should be using paint chip samples, special wet wipe tests, and an xRf spectrometer (which costs $10,000+)

Can you put an oil based enamel over an acrylic laytex paint?

It is very easy to coat enamel paints with acrylic paints but you really should pay attention to a couple of points if you want it to be successful. Always sand the the enamal well and fill any holes with lindeed putty then apply a good coat of undercoat. I use an oil based undercoat first and then several days later sand the undercoat lightly and coat with acrylic all purpose undercoat. Once you have done this you can apply acrylic top coats. If you are using a self priming type acrylic paint on external work, you could skip the acrylic undercoat and apply it straight on to the oil based undercoat but you must leave it for several days to dry completely before coating with acrylic. I have used both methods over the past 5 years and both have not shown any sign of problems to date.
