mattlow Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hi all I've done a bit of trawling over the internet but can't find anything that gives a basic rundown on what paint types (enamel, acrylic etc..) can be put over/under each other? I'm not even aware if there are hard and fast rules (can it depend on manufacturer?). I suppose my main question at the moment is can I put an oil paint/turps substitute wash over acrylic paint or will the turps attack the acrylic? Is the best route to take actually testing any combination first? Any advice gratefully received Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattlow Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Thanks Frederick That gives the 'rule of thumb' I was looking for. Intersetingly I discovered last night that Micro Sol happily dissolves acrylic paint!! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Intersetingly I discovered last night that Micro Sol happily dissolves acrylic paint!! Also, you have to watch Micro Sol over Future, if that is what you use for clear coats! Future of course is clear acrylic, so I guess that makes sense...

thierry laurent Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 You're so true... A close friend had a bad experience with the acrylic paint + future + decals + Micro sol combination ... In such a case, the chemical reaction may bite all the coats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
