I am painting over a bench I got at a consignment shop, using acrylic paint. I am not getting the coverage I want after several coats. Can I use spray paint over the acrylic paint? Thanks!

I need to correct this original answer as it is completely wrong. You can only paint oil on top of acrylic, not vice versa. Consider the fact that all canvases are primed with an acrylic gesso primer. This is common knowledge. If you paint faster drying/curing acrylic over oil paint, it will eventually chip/flake off. Whomever responded originally stating that a "paint will yellow" is completely mistaken or misinformed.Helpful Reply- See 1 previous

So I don’t have an answer, but can acrylic be put on spray paint and show up? I am making a project and I want the background to be white (and spray paint is quick for that) but then the details I want to do in acrylics. I’m doing this on cardboard. Thanks!Helpful Reply -
