Do you dilute acrylic wall paint with water to paint a lampshade?
You could, but if you have some 100% acrylic solid stain, you would get better results since you wouldn't need to thin it nearly as much as a paint. If you have to use paint, instead of diluting with water, dilute with a latex paint conditioner like Flo-trol as much as possible. Water will break down the binder if used to over thin the paint causing the solids to powder over time. Even better, use fabric dye unless you are trying to achieve a design that requires paint.
What type of paint should you use for a foyer?

Can you mix art paint with house paint for your wall?
Yes! I have used both combinations of wall paint in poster paint & vice versa..I used one to tint the other in each instance & noticed that it affected the adhesion as well as the ability to block stains if adding poster paint to wall (white-ish) paint..by adding wall paint to poster paint it made poster paint stick better, flow from brush better, & require fewer coats..all of this while using a high quality acrylic wall paint..

Will acrylic paint on yarn make it stiff?
The short answer is a qualified yes.-If you put acrylic wall paint on a single strand of yarn (natural fiber or synthetic), the yarn will be encased in a paint that will make it more rigid, and the paint will crack if you bend the yarn.- If you put acrylic wall paint on knitted yarn (for example a sweater) the acrylic will sit on the surface and dry to a hard finish. When the yarn bends (in the washer or in use) the paint will crack and eventually start to flake off, although it will not all come off.- If you put acrylic craft or artists' paint on a single strand of yarn, you will get the same result as above.- If you put acrylic craft or artists' paint on knitted yarn, yo will also get the results above.*Note*- If your desire is to paint on a knitted piece and have the yarn stay flexible, there is a paint medium used for fabrics (you can find it at most craft stores) that will make the paint more flexible and adhere better.

Can you paint a tan wall red without primer?
Yes you can, as long as the red finish paint is compatible with the tan wall. Acrylic and latex paints can't be applied over an oil based paint without a primer. A tinted primer can be used if you are not sure. Plus, a tinted primer will make the red paint cover better.
What type of paint should you use to paint a mural on a wall?
When painting a mural on an interior wall, with brushes, any good quality acrylic craft paint will do. You may want to topcoat a mural in a bathroom with a latex based polyurethane, to seal it from water/steam damage. If you are working with an airbrush, your standard acrylic airbrush paints will do just fine. For exterior murals use an exterior grade acrylic paint. Be sure the paint is colorfast as if you don't the colors may fade or change, causing the work to be damaged or lost.
