Paint question... Spray paint (enamel?) over acrylic latex???
« on: February 26, 2012, 11:11:56 am »
I've got some boxes I want to use for swarm traps that have been painted with (white) exterior acrylic latex.  I'm not sure of the type (it's sitting at work right now) of spray paint I picked up to camouflage the boxes but it's the less than $4 kind from Lowes.  I figure it's an enamel of sorts.  Will this work over the latex?  I'm not looking for showcase quality....just something that won't peel for a couple of years.

Thanks!

These figures don't include 70,000 MIA.  But, the leaders of one political party of the United States of America continue to make the statement..."What difference does it make?".

Enamel paint can be used over almost anything except lacquer.
Only God can make these two things.....Blood and Honey!
