Would Acrylic paints work directly on wood?

Acrylic paints, like whats used on canvases... would that work on wood? Or would it have to be undercoated/varnished etc?? Would it peel off??Would Acrylic paints work directly on wood?
Wood needs primer firstWould Acrylic paints work directly on wood?
Hi,





Acrylic paint has relative good adhesion properties on wood, but it's better to use a primer, or gesso like you say in USA.


Acrylic paint should be varnished, because it's porous.


Of course that people don't varnish acrylic paint used in construction.





Kind regards,

I would put a base coat of gesso first. I don't think it would peel if you didn't put an under coat, but if it got wet, after time it would chip. You can also buy sprays to put on top when you are done, but if the item is left outside with the spray top-coat, it tends to yellow.
under coat then paint with acrylic paint but use acrylic under coat
Well ive been painting on wood covered with wall paint, with acrylics, and so far its worked fine.
Sand the wood down, primer it...then go nuts.
they should
