Is this indoors or outdoors? 

Is this indoors or outdoors?  If indoors, I suggest a 100% solids industrial/commercial flooring epoxy, being rapid cure/4 hour formulation. For further details give me a call 254-498-6635/cell phone or number at top of all forum pages ...or send me an email message Lindy.Ausburne@gmail.com for my prompt response.  Epoxies wiill bond to acrylics.

You can NOT apply a high performance protective PAP coating/sealer (that dries in 1 hour, all the way down to -30F; numerous colors or clear) over acrylic sealers/coatings due to incompatibiity issues.

If you attempt to pigment a clear acrylic sealer to acheive a solid color on the floor it will not be 100% solids (instead it will have some degree of slight translucentcy).  There are some manufacturers that have factory pigmented solid colored acrylic selaers ... I can provide you with a source that I have used for years upon request.
