Can this be used over a latex painted surface?

Hello. I've used it over dry painted acrylic surfaces for art, but not on latex.

Yes I used it over a latex foam pad until an electric surge destroyed the control. I was never able to replace the control - customer service at Biddeford is non-existent. Google it and you'll see all the complaints. I gave up and switched over to Sunbeam.

I asked a similar question of the folks at Rust-OLeum, experts on the subject, and they said NO, polyurethane over latex is a bad idea. Strip it down to bare wood or repaint. Don't mix the two. If this is wrong, tell us!

Actually you can. But my suggestion for this sprayer is to use Oil Based paints and enamels. It says you can use latex. But even after using latex paint conditioner and watering the pain down somewhat, it still clogged and sputtered. I actually painted my outdoor porch underlayment(ceiling) with a high gloss white oil based enamel and it went on very even and good without overspray.

Pretty sure you can paint over it. I haven't painted over mine because I still use it for its intended purpose, however, painting over this would be just like painting over a whiteboard. If you ever made the mistake of using a permanent marker on a whiteboard you know, it doesn't come off; paint should be the same.

Not sure if it can be added over paint. I used it on a stamped/stained concrete porch.

I used it to seal my basement cement walls behind the insulation and sheet rock. After it dries I can see no reason why you would not be able to paint over it. I applied 2 coats and it works great.

???? Don't really know, my guess would be yes. It adheres very well to painted surface, as long as it's clean, go for it.

We used it on a door over stain and it worked superbly. I would check with the manufacturer about using it over paint.

I don't think so but can't say for sure as we applied ours over painted walls. Most vinyl wall art stencils are just big stickers anyhow and need a pretty smooth surface to work properly. I'd suggest getting a small one from somewhere and test drive it to see for certain.

Yes. I have sprayed one with Sherwin Williams oil-based enamel, and rolled another with regular latex wall paint. Both came out fine.

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.

The label says "Painter's Best Friend" and then below that says "Removes dried latex paint, oil based paint splatters, caulk and wallpaper adhesive." I have never tried it on any of those and would have to agree with D. Lee's skepticism regarding older dried paint of either kind. You may need to resort to the classic solution of scrape, sand, and repaint.Good luck!

I think you can use latex paint, though I haven't. I use automobile paint which sometimes is thick like latex and I have no problems with it.

I would think that it would work but I would use some course sand paper on the formica if it is a real smooth finish. Use the sand paper to rough up the surface so the paint will adhere better to the formica surface and give you a better painted surface that will last longer. Let the paint cure up to two days between coats of paint and two days before you use the epoxy. Hope this helps and good luck.

I believe that there is a newer model that can spray 'hot" , or flammable liquids such as lacquer or poly. But yes, this will spray any liquid with the consistency of latex paint.

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.
