Can I paint over Acousti-Coat without hurting its sound deadening properties?
ANS: Yes. Say you want a deep accent color on the wall or a color darker than AC can be tinted, Apply two coats of AC and then topcoat it with the color of your choice. When painting over AC try to use the Least Expensive Paint you can buy. Inexpensive flat latex coatings have very little resin in them and a high water content, resin destroys the sound absorbing properties of AC.
