Best way to paint over existing stencil?
Comments (4)Did you do the stencil? If you did then you know what kind of paint was used. If it's acrylic or latex, a good blockout primer should be all you'll need.

If the stencil is oil - there are oil paint sticks and paint pots that are in decorative painting - then you REALLY need a blockout primer for sure. The other thing to do whether the stencil is oil or latex is to lightly sand it - just a few big swipes with a fine sanding block.

It also brings a bit of reflected light into the room, lightening things up. Sorry, but I am not familiar with Soda Glass....See MoreStencil question - budget paint
Comments (0)I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. I am repainting and then stenciling a wood floor. I am painting the base coat with SW porch and floor enamel. I was wondering if I could get away with the cheaper sample paint for the stencils? I was greedily thinking I could afford to have more colors made then. Or is it such crappy paint that it wouldn’t work? TY...See Moregw:craftylady-2006
