Before you apply acrylic/latex over oil based finish paint you had better make sure it will work as there are some that will not stick even if you sand the surface of a semi-gloss or gloss oil based enamel. I work for the Duron Paint company and we have 2 acrylic/latex semi-gloss paints ( signature select & genesis) that will adhear to oil enamels and and 5 that will not, so as you can see you can not make a blanket statement that all acrylics will adhear to oil enamel. So if someone goes into a home center and gets a clerk that was working in plumbing yesterday they may very well get the wrong paint and end up with a mess. Have a great day. |
