Magic Weapon / Vestment on Specific Weapons and Armors

[master_marshmallow]

Pretty straight forward question:
If I use Greater Magic Weapon or Magic Vestment on a specific item, like a Sunblade or Celestial armor, can I increase it's effective enhancement bonus?

Yes.

Yes because its a temporary bonus. It usually takes the highest bonus.

say that you have a +1 keen, vorpal longsword, then you apply greater magic weapon from a 12th lvl caster (which is +3) now your weapon is a +3 keen, vorpal longsword, for the duration of the greater magic weapon spell. Once the duration expires, the weapon returns to being +1 keen, vorpal.
Same process can be used for armors (and shields) using magic vestment spell.
The only thing to remember is that the spell "greater magic weapon" doesn't allow the weapon to act like a special material or alignment, like a permanent enhancement would (+3 counts as silver/cold iron, +4 counts as adamantine, +5 counts as all alignments)

No.. what you put on is an overlapping bonus... only the greater one applies.

Right I am aware of the overlapping issue, but I wanted to know if say, a 20th level casting of the spell(s) would yield a +5 armor/weapon as normal weapons would.
