The key to achieving the best possible results is to use a primer first, work with the right tools, and to paint in thin layers; You can paint over gloss paint only if you prep the surface first, otherwise, the results will be far from good looking.
Adding a layer of primer before you paint on the gloss would help. Make sure to get a primer that will not inhibit the gloss, otherwise you will have to put more coats than necessary over the primer.
If you attempt to paint over glossy paint without sanding then you will most likely have a peeling issue in the future. Since the paint will not have anything to grab on to it will chip and peel easily.
Hi, you can paint directly onto gloss with your water based satin. I would recommend that you give it a light sand down first so that your new paint has a good key. Apply two coats for a quality finish.
You can use oil-based, water-based latex, acrylic, or any other type of paint to paint over the gloss paint because the surface has been sanded and prepared.
Latex paints will not stick to oil based paints. The exception is that an oil based primer may accept any kind of top coat paint. For that reason, an oil based primer is recommended to be applied over any oil based top coat, then a water based paint may be used as a top coat.
Extreme Bond Primer is a high quality, waterborne, acrylic bonding primer that promotes adhesion on a wide range of hard to paint surfaces with only a one coat application. Designed for coating hard, slick, glossy non-porous surfaces with minimal surface preparation (not designed for floors).
Poor paint adhesion is one of the most common consequences of skipping the sanding step. Without sanding, the cabinet surface remains smooth and may have a glossy finish or residual substances that hinder the paint from properly adhering.
Painting Over Gloss With Oil-Based Satinwood
Dulux, Crown, and Johnstone's all have a trade satinwood which is “self-undercoating” and can be applied directly to aged gloss. Simply sand your glossy surface before you paint, carry out any filling or calking as required, and then paint your satinwood straight on.
Start by lightly sanding the gloss paint and then cleaning the surface so you can remove the glossy surface that makes it difficult for paint to adhere to. Then, apply a base coat of Tikkurila's Ultra Primer or Otex Adhesion Primer to help your paint stick to the surface.
Liquid sandpaper, a.k.a. deglosser, is a chemical that can be used to rough up existing paint on walls and other surfaces by removing the gloss, making it possible to paint over what's left on the wall after use. This is good for hard to reach places or an object that you may feel would be awkward to sand.
To dull the surface, use fine-grit sandpaper and sand the entire surface to remove the sheen. You do not need to remove the paint layer, just rough up the surface until the shine goes away. This will give the new paint plenty of little holds in order to stick well.
You can use any paint to paint over gloss but it's important to use a super grip primer if you are painting over gloss with emulsion. If you are painting woodwork like skirting boards, doors or doorframes we recommend using satin or eggshell paint.
Since smooth, glossy surfaces don't hold paint well, you'll need to dull the gloss finish before repainting. No matter which type of paint you plan to use over the semi-gloss, you should sand and prime the surface. This process smooths out imperfections and ensures maximum adhesion of the new paint.
However, if the gloss paint you want to paint over is in very good condition and only recently painted, i.e. a few weeks/months ago, it should be OK. We still advise that you clean the paint with sugar soap first, and go over the surface with a fine grit sandpaper – 220 is good – before painting.
Yes, you can paint right over old painted furniture without sanding. You will need something called a DEGLOSSER and you can use this on OLD KITCHEN CABINETS to prep for new paint as well!
The end-goal for painting projects is to produce a very smooth finish: One way to achieve this is to lightly sand between each coat of primer and paint you apply using fine-grit sandpaper. Sanding between each coat of primer and paint is one way to achieve the best finish for any painting project.
An alternative is to use a primer that is designed to stick to glossy surfaces. So, you'll first add a layer of primer and let it dry. Then, it's time to use one or two coats of regular paint. For best results, it's a good idea to sand the wall surface before using the primer.
Best for use in. Use on interior and exterior surfaces including woodwork, drywall, plaster, paneling, masonry, brick, painted metal and properly prepared glossy surfaces†.
Painting glossy, impermeable surfaces requires a primer with exceptional adhesion. Zinsser's B-I-N® Primer Sealer is exactly that!
In addition, water-based paint is preferred when covering an oil-based product because it has a faster drying time and resists fading in the sunlight for exterior applications.
