Can DiamondFinish Clear be used over water based paint?

Yes, DiamondFinish Clear can be applied over a water-based paint once that coating is fully cured. As always, test a small, inconspicuous area first before full application.

💡 Pro Tip

Water-based paints typically take much longer to fully cure than solvent-based paints, from a day or two up to two weeks depending on the paint. Applying DiamondFinish Clear too soon is a common mistake, so wait for the full cure time on the paint maker's data sheet, not just dry to the touch, before applying DiamondFinish Clear.
