When you're adding waterproofing to your property, you want to ensure that you're using a primer that is going to last. The primer is a liquid applied to a surface before you start painting. The primer will allow for an easier painting later on with the sealant, allowing the paint to stick more easily to the surface.
While the membrane protects against water penetration into your home's foundation, it also works as an adhesive surface for the primer and paints you'll use to finish your project. So yes, you can paint over the waterproofing membrane!
We only recommend painting over the Liquid Rubber Foundation Sealant with paint when used in an interior basement application. It's preferred to use our Color Waterproof Sealant instead. This is because we have color options that you can use to match the theme of your home from the start.
It's just a solid body stain. Yes you can paint over it.
While it's best to remove the nonpaintable silicone that isn't always feasible. Apply 1-2 coats of a pigmented shellac like Zinnser's BIN. The shellac primer dries fast enough to combat the paint crawling over the silicone. You can top coat with your choice of paint once the silicone is covered with BIN.
Wait for 24 hours for the sealant to fully dry before applying paint. The product can be painted over with water-based and synthetic paints. Note: Before application, test the sealant's compatibility with the paint you are going to use.
The first option you can try is to use oil-based paint. These use solvents which take the place of the water in emulsion paints. This means the silicone will not repel the paint – but it doesn't necessarily mean that it will attach to it.
Application is easy. It can be applied by brush, roll, trowel, dip or pouring. Once applied, the self leveling formula smoothly covers small gaps and cracks ensuring a watertight seal. When dried, Gorilla Waterproof Patch & Seal Liquid is paintable and temperature resistant resulting in lasting repairs!

Yes, and this is especially important for the protection of tiles that have a painted on design. However, there are critical issues to consider before you start testing. A water based sealer might or might not bond to the paint - depending on the paint.
What colours do Rubber Sealant come in? Rubber Sealant only comes in black. But when it's dry you can paint over it with any water-based top coat paint.
How long does Liquid Rubber last? Every situation is different, but as a general rule, we recommend reapplying after ten years.
Acrylic Paints
These water-based paints are favored for their durability and ease of use, and they adhere well to liquid rubber once it is properly prepared.
There are three main types of waterproof paint: epoxy, masonry, and acrolein elasticized paint. Waterproof paint resists water damage, prevents mold and mildew growth, and is easy to clean. This type of paint can cost more than standard varieties at $1 to $8 per square foot.
If everything was done correctly, your polyurethane surface should be ready for paint without any issues. Water-based paint works just fine if your surface is primed correctly, however it's recommended you use oil-based paint for a more superior, long lasting finish.
Pro tip - Waterproofing before painting is a must for a dry and healthy home. What adds to that protection is "waterproof paint". The combination of the two keeps your house damage-free for longer.
Allow at least 48 hours to dry; however drying time will vary depending on the substrate, temperature, and humidity. Allow minimum of 30 days drying time before applying oil based paint over Thompsons® WaterSeal® Clear Wood Sealer.
On average, Thompson's water seal will last for about 5 years. Depending on the weather patterns in your area, this deck sealer might need your attention more often. In a rainy state, you might need a fresh coat of water seal for ultimate protection every 2-3 years.
Thompson's Water Seal has been reformulated to last longer than standard waterproofers. It is long lasting, even under heavy moisture conditions, and is not destroyed by ultraviolet light.
Gorilla Paintable Silicone Sealant provides a strong waterproof seal great for the kitchen, bath, window, door, plumbing, gutters and more. This sealant is paintable in 30 minutes, 15 minute rain/shower ready and provides mold & mildew resistance.
Flex Seal Spray can then be painted over with almost all commercially available paints and urethanes. Flex Seal Liquid cannot be top coated with anything other than Flex Seal Liquid, however, you can add as many coats as you like. Just allow Flex Seal Liquid to fully dry between coats.
The best product for keeping water out is a waterproof silicone sealant. The silicone improves the quality of your sealant by upping both the flexibility and adhesion.
Let the surface dry off very well, I then suggest painting the silicone surface with Dulux 1L PRECISION White Maximum Strength Adhesion Primer. I recommend a minimum of two coats before you paint it with your topcoat.
As silicone is flexible it is important that the paint has the same flexible quality. Without this, the paint will have a tendency to flake off. A good method of creating a flexible paint is to use an oil-based paint (your chosen colour) alongside silicone caulking.
Wipe denatured alcohol over the caulk.
Part of the reason paint won't stick well to silicone is because of how smooth the silicone is. Denatured alcohol will act as sandpaper to roughen up the surface of the silicone. Pour the alcohol onto a rag and wipe it over the surface of the silicone caulk.
