The paint itself should withstand a gentle cleaning. Eggshell and semi gloss paints stand up better than flat.I need to know what kind of finish i can put over acrylic paint on a wall, that will stand up to cleaning?
Acrylic paint is a copolymer which means that it is a mix of water[which dries by evaporation and a plastic which forms a quick skin that allows the paint underneath to slowly dry...much like an oil paint but without the mess in clean up. If you have not thinned your paint down to a point that it has lost it's shine[which would indicate that the plastic has been thinned to a point that it no longer protects the surface] then you do not have to put a protective coat over the surface.If you cover it use either mat medium or gloss medium in acylicI need to know what kind of finish i can put over acrylic paint on a wall, that will stand up to cleaning?
well it should be able to deal with cleaning, but if you want to be extra sure, put a gloss medium or matte medium over it to make it more permanent. gloss medium will make it shinier, and matte will dull it a bit.
