Painting Latex Over Oil

Painting Latex over oil is possible if all the correct preperation is done before hand. First you will need to sand the complete area to be painted , that means every little nook and crany, use a sand paper gritt 120. Second  you will need to make sure the surface is clean and free of any grease, you can achieve that by using an all purpose cleaner and wipe down the area to be painted.  The final step is to apply 2 coats of 100% acrylic latex paint , allowing the correct amount of drying time in between coats.  If you do not follow the first 2 steps it is more then likely that the paint job may fail, and the latex will peel off.  To insure adhesion in high traffic areas , such as doors and frames,  it would be smart to apply a primer . You may apply a latex primer if all steps above are completed.  The best way to switch oil to latex is to use an oil based primer,  the peperation may not have to be as extreme as for the latex, and I guarantee ahesion everytime.   Above, ive givin you many different senarios to choose from. Every case is different and must be anylised first before proceeding. The best solution is to call a professional for a free over the phone consultation.  For more information please check my website
