Can you paint over elastomeric?

Question

Accepted Answer

You may indeed repaint elastomeric coatings, but you have to be properly ready to let the new paint adhere properly. Smooth, hard residue left by elastomeric coatings will not easily absorb fresh paint. First sanding the 220-grit sandpaper will damage the smooth surface and help prepare it. This procedure lessens surface slipperiness, therefore enhancing adherence. After sanding, the surface ought to be completely dried off then meticulously cleaned with soap and water to remove dust and trash. One should apply a bonding primer once the surface is dry and clean. An intermediary layer called the primer helps the fresh paint cling well to the elastomeric coating. You can then paint over the cured primer either with latex or oil-based paint. Advice is to ensure even coverage by several applications; wait time between coats until completely dry before applying the next one. Painting elastomeric coatings will not leave a surface covered; rather, it will restore or rejuvenate its looks. Ignoring any of these steps could cause the fresh paint to flake or adhesion problems. Good preparation guarantees both long-term endurance and a seamless conclusion.
