Primal Decals 621 Posted May 18, 2017 I tried finding my old post on latex versus Oil based paints and couldn't locate it ,sooooo im making a new post sorry.......So last year or so i was able to buy oil based paint for doing an exterior sign with vinyl applied.Well now you cant buy oil based in California or at least up where i am now..So i went and bought some exterior semi gloss latex and did a free small sign for a customer .waited 2 weeks and put the vinyl on like i did last time with the oil based (which is still holding perfect by the way)...... Well with the latex, my vinyl started curling on the ends..Did i buy the wrong latex semi gloss exterior or something else up? or did i need to wait longer to apply.? Thank you big time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcbevins 340 Posted May 20, 2017 Not a paint expert. But I do know if you look at the formula and it has something like "stain guard," that is often Teflon®, (polytetrafluoroethylene,) mixed in. Vinyl slides ride off that shortly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
