Can you use Oil Base Paint over Latex Primer?
Question:
Answers:
Sorry, but budde ugly is not correct. You can put a latex based primer onto bare wood. As a matter of fact, a good latex primer will usually last MUCH longer than an oil primer. The latex technology as skyrocketed over the years, whereas the technology for oils hasn't changed for the better in the last 50 years.
Most of the time yes but, you should check the primer can to make sure.
Yes, over latex primer but not latex paint without first putting on primer.
If you really want the best results use oil primer for oil paint,as th oil might pull the latex as you are painting,but with todays latex paints there is little need to use oil base.Also you can apply oil primer then latex paint with no problems.
Okay the general rule is:
-You can put latex over anything, BUT you can not put oil over latex.
So if you have a latex primer/paint you can not put oil paint on top of it. If I were you I would stick to latex paint. Latex has come a long way and is just as good to use as oil in quality. Latex is better thought because it is water clean-up, easier to apply, and doesn't smell. If you still wanted to use your oil paint you would have to strip and sand the latex paint off. Good Luck!
Yes, but why?
Yes.
Bare wood has to have oil-based primer.
