painting in an old house
JULIE442
probably a couple of decades. I know that the last paint used was an oil-based
paint, and I would like to use a latex paint now. I went to my local paint
store to ask how this could be done, and was told that I could paint over the
oil-based paint with latex paint. I know for a fact that this cannot be done
because in spite of careful surface prep, the latex paint we used in some other
areas did blister. On some of the walls, we used an acrylic primer over the
oil-based paint, and were successful with a latex topcoat. Can this be done on
the trim, too?

It can be tinted to 1/2 tone of the finish color. Benjamin Moore has a new
Acrylic satin impervo trim paint, my crew thinks it is great.
Good luck

application rather than just a regular oil based primer. Zinsser 1-2-3 is
excellent. Glidden makes a latex one called Gripper, which is specifically
formulated to go over old oil paint and then topcoated with a latex. It is a
quick drying product that can be topcoated in about 2 hours and can be used
indoors or out. They make another one called Jammer which is an oil based one
that has an even more aggressive adhesion for painting surfaces like ceramic
tile, glass, arborite or that "lovely" wood panelling from the 70's.
Personally, I don't think I would be purchasing ANYTHING at the store that said
you could put latex over oil paint. Although, ICI has one that is designed to
do that, it is in specific situations, and specific prep work must be done.

1. Wash the surface with TSP.
2. Rinse.
3. Fill any holes, etc. with patching compound.
4. Sand.
5. Wipe off sanding dust.
6. Prime.
7. Topcoat.
A light sanding between coats gives a great finish but
almost nobody ever does.

of them).The purpose of a high adhesion paint is to possibly avoid this
step.If I sand the oil well enough I could just put latex straight on
top.There are also better cleaners on the market than tsp which don't
involve rinsing
As a contractor and an ICI customer I was just trying to help someone avoid
a major problem.Gripper does not live up to its namenews:3F763665...@telus.net...

all over again in a year or two because of blistering and peeling.

doesn't do anything except remove oil, grease and dirt. It does dull or degloss
the substrate but not enough to provide a suitable tooth for a latex over
alkyd.

Sanding a coating which is suspect to contain lead is not advisable, it will
put particulate in the air and on anything that is in the area. This is how the
lead is absorbed in to the body to cause lead poisoning.

involve cleaning with TSP or a like product. This only removes lead dust.
In other words it is just a wash that removes dirt, grease, lead dust
etc....
Also, 123 primer does stick without the sanding step. If you have lead on
your trim, do not sand. You can create a lead hazard.

different companies, under the Color your World line of paints it is known a
Blocker. Lets face it ICI has bought up a vast majority of Paint
manufactures over the yrs..different label,different price ...same product.
as a Painting Contractor also and a ICI customer I too try to avoid major
problems ...Benjamin Moore's Fresh Start primer falls into this catogory as
well NFG

anything that has oil based paint on it with Zinnser Cover- Stain, oil based
primer then top coat with any latex you like.You can topcoat over oil primer
with most any paint. Just don't use latex over oil based trim paint unless
it's been preped with oil primer.
Get it ?
