Can you mix the two?Can you combine Latex and Acrylic Paints to achieve different colors?
latex and acrylic paints are both water based paints and can be mixed to make different colors. the only variation will be in the finish ie; glossy, satin or flat since most acrylic paints are flat.Can you combine Latex and Acrylic Paints to achieve different colors?
They are both water based so yes. At least, all the ones I've seen described as latex and acrylic are water based. Check the labels to be 100% sure. Alkyd is oil based.
No you can not mix. One paint is oiled based and one is water based. Water and oil don't mix.
