Question Acrylic over epoxy--

Anybody ever spray acrylic over epoxy or is it to smooth to adhere?

I bet if you scuff the epoxy flat it will make a great base/sealer for acrylic. Seems a little pricey though.

I do . When I do my fancy smancy paintjobs I epoxy the plug before hand so the paintjob is between epoxy, Its not as smooth as a finish coat of epoxy because a sand it a little. I also use a primer before I paint it.

Would like to repaint and then epoxy rather than epoxy over the marks.
Want to be sure i'll get the adhesion.

Thanks SK. I would have painted right over the epoxy without priming again.

Maybe end up turnin this surfster into a sub surfster with the added layers.
