I hope that anyone can help me with some questions regarding about Melamine paint.
I have used and applied couple of coats of Tremclad Rust-Paint with their primer on the metal stand (newly contructed bare steel). I have also applied two coats of Varathane Professional Clear Finish (chemical name is Amorphous Silicon Dioxide) which I think it is an Oil base finish cured into some sort of platic.
The whole painting metal tube stand project is under curing condition over the past 48 hours.
After asking around few questions, I have discovered General Paint's Melamine paint may be best suited in my application because of its
washable, scrubbable and durable properties.
My questions are:
1. Can I use and apply Melamine paint on top of what I have already applied which is Varathane Interior Professional Oil Finish?
2. In my situation, what preperations should I do before using Melamine paint such as cleaning and sanding..?
3. Should I just leave what I already have since "Varathane® Interior Professional Oil Finish provides excellent scratch resistance and stands up to harsh household chemicals" as stated on their website.
Hopefully, you can point me to the right direction what I should do in this particular project. Thank you very much.
PS. I don't do powder coating or truck-bed liner thing as most would recommend
