Yes, the water borne latex paint manufactured today can be covered successfully with nearly any finish imaginable, including an alkyd primer. However, if possible I would exchange the alkyd with any water base primer/sealer. Costs less and the fumes aren't as offensive.

I am wondering why you would want to use lacquer. What are you painting ? A house ? A boat ? Furniture ? E-mail me at david49586@Yahoo.com and we can discuss.

All primers are designed to seal that which is under them and create a surface with "tooth" that may be used with any and all types of paint. So the short answer is YES.

Yes. Alkyd paints can be put directly over latex paints. However, latex paints over alkyd require a primer coat between.

Can you paint over latex paint with alkyd lacquer paint that is for concrete floors?

I wouldn't recommend it. Some of the chemicals in the alkyd will dissolve the latex and the alkyd won't "stick". It's best to remove the latex using laquer thinner or xylene first.

How do you apply alkyd paint to ceramic tile?

First, clean the tile and grout with a harsh cleanser such as T.S.P. Next, apply a bonding primer to the tile with a brush or roller. It can be oil-based or water-based, and you can thin it slightly if needed to get a smooth, even coating. Once the primer is dry, apply your alkyd (oil-based) paint over the primer with brush or roller.

How do you paint with alkyd?

In the past oil paints referred to either petroleum based paints or linseed based paints. Today in the USA petroleum based paints are no longer sold and it is difficult to find linseed based paints though they do exist with a small proportion of linseed oil. Alkyd paints are made with synthetic oil and are readily available and have come to be known as "oil" paint.

What kind of paint can you put on alkyd enamel primer?

Alkyd Enamel is really old school primer. I personally would sand it with 400 wet/dry and put a coat or two of an epoxy primer over it then you can put just about any type of paint on it. If you don't want to do that, probably your best best would be n Enamel top coat , You can still get Automotive Enamels but they will be expensive because the EPA is really cracking down on the solvent based finishes. Color selection may also be limited but they are out there. And even if you use an enamel , you should clear coat it with a Urethane Clear. IT helps protect the base coat from fading and gives a great gloss when buffed. I have painted a lot of cars with Enamels and they go on fairly heavy so watch out.
