As a painting contractor, I have noticed some painting disasters due to misinformation or misunderstanding of product qualities regarding oil and latex paints.
The most frequent question? Does latex go on top of oil or oil on top of latex? Latex over oil (without priming the substrate) is a really bad idea.
Regardless of what anyone may tell you . . . NEVER PAINT LATEX PAINT ON TOP OF OIL WITHOUT PROPER PREPARATION!! Painting latex over oil will cause blistering, cracking, and peeling of the topcoat. Oil paint, on the otherhand, is okay to paint over latex.
Stay tuned to upcoming posts . . . we will be discussing proper preparation for oil and latex painting projects.
