Is it possible to apply a water base paint over gloss, solvent base paint? Is it necessary a preparatory work in the surface to ensure good adhesion?

Yes, to both questions. But, in order to ensure a good adhesion to shin surfaces, it is necessary first to wash and, subsequently, to sand the surface. This process guarantees the new paint “grips” to the surface. Solvent base paints with gloss finish tend to be chalky, especially when the paint has a lot of time since it is applied. That’s why it is necessary to clean the surface before applying the finish paint ensuring its adhesion and long-term durability.
