When navigating a new DIY project, it can be difficult to choose the right products for the perfect finish. However, to help you pick your paintable decorating sealants, we have answered some commonly asked questions…
Which sealant can you paint over?
Painter’s caulk is the best option when looking at using a sealant as part of the decorating process. Acrylic sealants can be easily painted over however silicone sealants do not allow paint to adhere well, therefore should be avoided for decorating.
How do you paint over silicone sealant?
Painting over silicone sealant is a difficult task, therefore it is always advised to use acrylic sealants when using them in decorating. Once cured this type of sealant can be painted over easily and provides a seamless finish.
Can you paint over external sealant?
If the right sealant is chosen, yes external sealant can be painted over. We recommend using a high-quality acrylic sealant, once curing has occurred it can be painted over for a seamless finish.
Are polyurethane sealants paintable?
Yes, once cured these sealants can be painted over with high quality acrylic latex paints, making them ideal for use in decorating projects.
