Can I use an acrylic based paint that has a matte type finish with this product?

I have used it with acrylic lacquer paint, I do not foresee any issue with adding a matting agent to the base paint.

yes you can you can use anything in these cans the problem is not what media you are using the problem is how thick it is and how much air pressure you can get in the can. you need a decent compressor to be able to charge these cans and when the pressure starts running out your media starts coming out in very large droplets

I bought this for my husband, and he used 5 different kinds of paint black, white, brown, red, tan and copper. You have to paint by hand, because the parts are too small to spray. He also says be sure to use enamel model paint, not water based paint.

Yes! Both of the first two projects that I used this on were painted with acrylics. In case anyone is curious, I used Golden Acrylics - They're awesome! Other things I've coated with this are block printer's ink, Danish oil, charred wood, and just plain wood. The ink was water based, thick, and reluctant to dry, but the Varathane coated it well. If you scorch wood, clean off the loose bits and dust before coating with anything. Danish oil worked well enough, but I had mixed it with acrylic paint to see how it would work as a wood coloring so that may have made it easier to clear coat with this. Of course, plain wood worked wonderful! If you want a nice, sturdy, antique matte finish; apply the coat with a paper towel and rub it on like you would Danish oil. Looks awesome!

Yes, I have made many tables and cabinets using Poly/Acrylic finish. Allow the latex to dry 24 hours and use a foam brush with the grain. Avoid over brushing and apply 2 coats. This works with milk paint.

Sorry I can't help with that. They have several different colors to choose from. I would ask at the paint store if they can mix whatever you want. Must likely they can

Perhaps it can I never thought about it. I think Krylon paints have developed a paint for vinyl products. Best of luck, What color did you want to paint it? I'm curious.

I have not tried it. But, the term "enamel paint" used to only refer to an oil based material which generally has a very hard surface and is shiny. Lately. there have been latex or water based paints that refer to themselves as "enamel" too, so you may want to find out what type of enamel you are trying to cover with this product. If you can't tell, you could test it in a small spot and see how it covers. Generally, I keep water-based products away from oil-based. But, I haven't been adventurous and maybe it's time to rethink it.

Matte finish, but you will want to get a clear polyurethane for your project once your done applying the gel stain anyways. I love this product!

I didn't paint mine but don't see why you can't. Use a semi gloss, it wears better.

Acrylic paint tends to peel or easily chip off plastic. But if you can locate a primer that is for plastics to use first, it might work. They sell these paints individually at Michael's if you wanted to test it out before ordering this lot.

Sorry, but I'm all tile. Based on the texture I wouldn't use it on Acrylic.

I very much doubt it. I think you'd need acrylics for that, but it would be worth googling. In any case, you'd need to prep the surface by at least removing all dirt and oils and maybe giving a final wipe with rubbing alcohol. But that's just me and I'm an experimenter at heart :-)

Yes, this will apply over any already painted surface and give it a matte finsh. Though with the semi-gloss finish you may need a couple sxtra coats.

As long as the painting does not have a high gloss sheen, there should be no problem. The Clear-Seal is a blended urethane acrylic and will adhere to any standard oil or water based paint. if there is a high gloss sheen, you would need to use a deglossing chemical or a very fine sandpaper. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best Regards, George Carson Exterior Performance Coatings 630-675-4509

I have used oil based paint and it worked great. Make sure you clean it well afterwords.
