Is it possible to paint latex over an oil base paint? Reason I ask is I painted a building on my property last summer with Sears latex paint with 15 year guarantee and this spring is already bubbling and peeling off. I scraped the building real good before painting but didn't prime it though. This building hadn't been painted for several years. Thank you.

Thanks everybody. I scraped the entire building real good but didn't use a primer. The guy at Sears said no problem just bring in your receipts and we'll give you free paint. I asked him if he wanted me to take any pictures and he said that was not necessary. I'll use the primer next time. Thanks again, Bob

Hi Bob,

You've got the answer to the question you asked so I won't add anything to that. What's puzzling me is why you asked that question. If your latex paint failed after one year because you painted over adequately prepped but unprimed bare wood (with some old oil based paint still on it?) why are you asking about applying latex over oil based paint? I'm just curious.

Sorry your paint job failed. Most people who don't paint for a living as all or part of their job frequently don't know that applying the actual paint is often the least of the job. Prep, including determining and using the correct primer, is usually the biggest part of the job. The two most common times prep is inadequate or not done at all is by insufficiently informed homeowners, and by jerks who throw a quick paint job on a building they're selling so it will look good at least until right after the papers are signed.

All the best, Stan

You can't put latex on bare wood as you found out. You can put it on oil base primer or latex primer. If you use a cheap oil base white as a primer then top coat with latex white it will stay on. One more thing to watch is people will paint the primer one year and wait until following year for top coat. That is wrong. You are supposed to apply the top coat within a couple of months at the latest. I paint wood barns, out-buildings, houses and metal buildings with twelve years exp.

You can't put water base latex on top of oil base paint. But you can put it on top of oil base primer. If you're gonna repaint it,put on a coat of primer.

I would have them send you out a rep, if you sanded down any old loose paint it should have stuck have them give you new Free paint they never pay labor
