quick question regarding paint

sqlkev · 1st July 2007, 07:34 PM

I have 2 cabs that are almost ready to paint. I primered with a latex based primer with about 4-5coats. What type of paint will work well with the primer I used? I'm after satin or gloss black finish.
Thanks,
Kev

Finish Paint: Latex Paint will bond to latex or oil primer. Oil finish paint
will bond to the latex or oil primer, but may not always work out so
well over the latex due to the higher flexibility of the latex.

The above is about house paints. Gloss Black AFAIK uses automotive
paints and requires many layers of clear laquer over the base colour.

sreten,thanks for the info

I ended up going with white. I bought the tub refinishing kit that is made of some epoxy type. I sprayed but ended up overspraying

The epoxy won't work after 12 hours after the initial mix, I think I have to wait til it dries and sand everything down.

$35 and half a day wasted
