Can I use a regular exterior primer over my oil painted, kitchen trim to prep for latex paint?
I think it is ill-advised to use any water-based paint, such as latex or acrylic, over anything that was previously painted with an oil-based paint. There is a good chance that with time the overcoat will peel because there may not be any mechanical bond between the two types of paint. Questions having to do with the visual fine arts are generally posted here. A better answer may come from posting your question on the “Decorating & Remodeling” forum. In any case, pay a visit to your local paint store or hardware store. I’m sure that they could give you spot on help. Find out if there is a easy-to-use primer for the job. Good Luck!
