Skeeter Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Can you spray lacquers over white latex paint as a base coat? I have used a white base coat that is recommended for lacquers. It works real well. However, it takes a fair amount of this base coat and it is kind of expensive. I would like to use the latex if I can.

Lincoya Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Skeeter, It's generally okay to spray any other paint over lacquer but NOT okay to spray lacquer over other paints. The lacquer will cause the other paint to lift. If in doubt, try it on a piece of scrap wood. Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 Skeeter, You might be able to get away with it if you shoot a very dry shoot and don't let the lacquer get to wet if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
