It depends on the type of paint used in the existing painting. If it is an oil painting, you will need to use oil based paint. If it is a water based medium, like acrylic, use a water based paint. Gesso will work well for this. It is inexpensive, opaque and will help level the texture of the existing painting. You may want to lightly sand the painting before painting over.
The water based polyurethanes use an acrylic resin which is clear. No matter how hard the Benjamin Moore paint, the acrylic will be harder and provide better scratch resistance. Just make sure you've given the paint a few days to dry before applying the acrylic, or you'll get unhappy little bubbles. Mon, 2011-09-12 18:51.
