Question

Can you put resin (crystal sheen) over acrylic paint?

Answer 1

As far as I know you can because one way suggested to seal porous materials like paper before coating with epoxy resin (or casting with polyester resin) is to use thinned permanent white glue --which is in the same family.

Since acrylic paint contains water though, you'd want to make sure the paint is totally dry first.

Answer 2

yes but the paint should be dry for at least 24 hours- if there is any moisture left it can cause the resin to not set properly and can cause bubbles.
