Coefficient of Friction of Latex Painted Steel on Steel
Coefficient of Friction of Latex Painted Steel on Steel
(OP)
I'm working on a project and we're trying to figure out what the coefficient of friction between steel and latex painted steel. Any help is appreciated!

If the steel is rough and/or the paint is soft then it more of a soil mechanics problem.

This paper provides some insight on how various factors influence friction coefficients between stainless steel and a latex film.
If you're interested in reading about some basic test work to characterize friction properties of soft rubber materials, take a look at this paper from 1942.

Least friction is a smooth stainless steel loosely forced onto a smooth stainless steel.
Painted steel on painted steel (very tight, firm bond with little height or lumps on both pieces of steel) IF the steel is lightly loaded needs to be tested - This because the grip of paint-to-paint is unknown.
Once the paint gets thicker or more uneven, or if the load is great, or is intermittent and frequent, WILL cut through the paint layers quickly. This causes rust (much greater friction, probably two locked surfaces if carbon steel), or the scraped off paint will jam the previously sliding surfaces mechanically.
