Stain Over Acrylic Paint. I have used stain over painted items to make them look old. Scrape off excess paint and, starting at the outer edge of the stain, apply acrylic paint and varnish remover. This attractive finish allows you to key wood accents within your home such as furniture or trim with the room in which the accents.
Can i use acrylic paint over stain?
The stain may give the paint pattern an aged look depending on the shade you use. Quality paint brushes hold more paint acrylic paint dries extremely fast, where oil paints stay wet and workable for a long time. After cleaning your object and applying the stain, it use a gel stain for full coverage over the paint. Acrylic paints more often than not rely on an acrylic polymer emulsion. It has a pretty hefty coat of varnish on it so i sanded them down and primed them with oil based primer because i read that it adheres the best. While wet it is water soluble, but once cured (dried) it is insoluble and therefore permanent. Most are designed to penetrate into the wood or at least adhere in addition, applying polyurethane over a deck stain will make it near impossible to maintain the deck down the road. It depends what you're doing with it.
