When you say rubber base paint I assume you mean latex paint. Yes, latex paint will adhere to an existing epoxy finish. However, the epoxy must already have cured. Meaning, it was already applied sometime in the past. A pretty good rule of thumb to go by when you're unsure if two finishes are compatible is to apply a coat of primer. Also, when latex paint is applied to a primed surface it will last that much longer, appear more uniform and will usually require only one coat of paint for proper coverage.

How do you prepare the surface to use epoxy paint over a rubber-based paint on a gunite pool?
Swimming pool paint companies do not recomment mixing paint types rubber goes back on rubber or epoxy back on epoxy So if you want epoxy, sandblast off the rubber. BTW Silica sand is very toxic and best left to the pros, the paint ain't much to help out the health either. Take special care when painting, Kelly Tech is a good paint source good swimming getapool.com
Can you use chlorinated rubber base paint over synthetic rubber base paint?
Absolutely not and you should use the same manufacturer of the paint you have on there also. Sorry you can only use a chlorinated rubber base paint on a rubber base paint. If you try to paint with the chlorinated rubber base on top of a synthetic rubber base paint it will probably peel like a bad sunburn.
Can you use epoxy paint over water base paint?
I wouldn't if it was my driveway. I'd power wash it off first then the driveway coatings would stick better.
Can you paint over epoxy paint that did not cure properly with additional epoxy paint?
I wouldn't. I would try to get the first one to cure somehow, possibly by warming that area.
Can you Paint over Latex Primer with Epoxy Primer?
Epoxy primer has to go over a bare surface otherwise it can act as a stripper, causing the base coat, along with the newly applied epoxy to delaminate or lift from the surface.

Is rubber swimming pool paint better then the epoxy refinish?
It is all in the preparation. Why do you want to paint a pool?????Reply to above: WHY PAINT A POOL? Because it's cheaper than re-plastering or otherwise re-surfacing your pool. Because it protects the concrete and/or plaster or fiberglass surface under the paint--if it is a quality paint. Because it revives the original beauty of your pool. Because it helps the surface resist algae and chemical attack on your pool surface-- especially so for a high-gloss premium pool paint. Because painting your pool allows you to modernize it, change color, add personal emblems or decals on the bottom. Lots of reasons to paint your pool. Check out frequently asked pool painting questions at http://www.sausea.com/faq.htm BY THE WAY, GOLDEN POOL PAINT RULE: Rubber-base over rubber-base, epoxy over epoxy, vinyl over vinyl. For best results, do NOT put different types over each other! If your paint type is failing, sandblast and start over with a good quality pool paint.
Can you use latex paint over an epoxy painted wall. and what steps are needed?
You can definitely use latex paint over epoxy. In fact, it is recommended to use latex over epoxy by the paint manufacturers, rather than using epoxy over epoxy. The latex adheres better and if you then want to use epoxy next time you paint, you have a nice coat of latex between the layers. If you use epoxy over epoxy, often the paint will just peel off in layers once some time passes (and sometimes right away).
Can you paint over latex paint with epoxy pain?

Can you paint over epoxy paint with latex paint?
Yes, but it may not stay on very well. Besides, epoxy paints are very hard and wear resistant, while latex paints aren't. If the epoxy paint was needed the first time, repainting with something much less durable might not be such a wise move.
Can you paint epoxy over dry lock?

How do you paint over acrylic paint with epoxy paint?
I,v got over 20 years inpainting. application, you know...learned it the hard way. painting over epoxy is always tricky.( I,m talking about the two part epoxy) if you start with epoxy and stick with epoxy, usually you'lldo just fine. any kind of latex paintwill lift off of epoxy. oil paint will stick a bit longer, but that's coming up to.thewhole point of epoxy is to have nothingstickto its surfaceso thatit cleans easy.you can try and strip it, messy and time consuming. now your mixing chemicals. one tip.. take a piece of sand paper, sand a small area. if what you sanded leaves dust.. I would paint that. if balls up or rolls? its the same as painting over rubber. hopes this helps.
