Exterior acrylic paint over enamel.?

Can I paint exterior weathershield paint over exterior enamel paint? I know its not ideal but are there any tricks to make it ok?Exterior acrylic paint over enamel.?
It depends. Rule of thumb,';you can't paint over an oil base paint with a water base paint.'; Within a few months if not sooner your paint will start to peel quickly. Go to a paint pro shop like Sherwin Williams,Kelly Moore, or ICI paints. They can tell you the right processes and what exactly to use. I don't recommend a big franchise for properly answered questions like a Home Depot or a Lowe's. Good Luck!!!Exterior acrylic paint over enamel.?
You should be OK. The enamel paint is somewhat brittle so you have to reduce any expansion by sealing out the moisture with caulking in all needed areas.





Good luck,
