painting over spray bomb paint ?

[blazer2007]

Can you paint over this rustoleum 2x spray paint? I,m just going to use acrylic enamel single stage paint. I did a little test on a fender to see if I liked a certain color for 2 tone.Sorry I know nothing about the chemical make ups of paint to know if they will react with each other

rustoleum reacts very badly with most other types of paints and will wrinkle. I've seen it 100 times. I would remove it first. And as a rule, try not to ever use rustoleum paint unless its on a landscape trailer or a fence or something.

A common mistake with those who are novice at painting, is too use primer from one brand paint and try to cover that with a different brand paint. It almost never works. They regularly fry and turn to mush. I just accidentally did it yesterday; an i know better! Got in too big of a hurry.

Anyway, short answer is don't do it. It will most likely turn into 3 X more work than you want too do.

Thanks I just wasn,t sure what was in this stuff, is it oil based or what

Rustoleum doesn’t even like to cover over itself if it’s too soon. Gotta do it within an hour or after 48 hours or it will wrinkle.

The reason painters make big money (most anyway) is they understand basic chemistry. It pays to read the directions and re-read them until you know what is being said. AND, do not mix name brands. Unless you know for a fact that the two will jive together. Mbeef61 is somewhat right. Gotta practice, understand the directions and practice patience if you want to even be a good beginner at laying down paint.
