You can paint with water based paint over oil primer! That's fine because the primer finishes flat and the latex can grip to it.
Yes, latex over oil base is fine as long as the oil base paint is 'dull' enough to allow good adhesion. Oil base over latex is not so good since latex paint is soft and will flex and oil base is hard and will crack.
It also dries quickly and provides a mildew resistant coating. It can be used under water-based or oil-based paint.

This all-purpose water-based undercoat primer-sealer can be used over or under any oil-based or water-based paint and is ideal for new construction and remodeling. PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS . .
Differences in Application. Water-based primers are best suited for latex, acrylic, and oil-based paints when applying enamel paints. In contrast, oil-based primers work better on surfaces like windows, doors, wood, and metal.
If you have various stains, shellac Bonding primer is the ideal choice. It can be used to cover rough surfaces and old varnish as well as metal and ceramic.
After priming, allow to dry 4 hours, test a small area for bleeding by applying the topcoat before painting the entire project. If the stain bleeds through, apply a second coat of primer and allow to dry overnight and retest before topcoating. Use Multi-Purpose Latex Primer over solvent sensitive stains.
There are many types of paint that can be used with Rustoleum Primer. The most common is latex. You can also use oil-based or alkyd paints. If you want to apply acrylic paint, you will need a special acrylic primer.
Waterbased paints can be applied over solvent-based paints, provided you prepare the substrate correctly. Conversely, we prefer to be a little more cautious. Although you may read here and there that it is possible, we would rather not recommend painting with solvent-based paint over water-based paint.
It's ready to brush, roll or spray and can be topcoated after one hour with latex or oil-based paint. Use KILZ STANDARD Primer on almost all interior surfaces including wood, drywall, plaster, brick, masonry and more. Not recommended for flooring, glossy surfaces, mold and mildew prone surfaces or for stainblocking.
Get a clean rag and put some metho on the edge of the rag. Rub it against a section of the paint. If the paint comes off, it is water-based paint. If it doesn't come off and just becomes very shiny, it's an oil-based paint.
If you put latex paint over oil, you'll end up with that fruit roll-up look all over your house because they just can't adhere. Since they're not compatible, they won't form a good bond.
Compatibility with oil-based primer: Water-based paint can be applied directly over oil-based primer. However, choosing water-based primers aligns better with eco-friendly practices without compromising quality.
High Exposure to Sunlight. Exposure to intense sunlight makes oil-based paints vulnerable to cracking. Elastic and latex paints tend to contract and expand when exposed to direct sunlight, which weakens their adhesive bonds.
Can you use water-based paint over Zinsser BIN? Absolutely, you can paint over Zinsser BIN with almost any type of paint, be it water-based undercoat, satinwood, gloss, eggshell, or emulsion.
Water-based paints do not perform as well when applying paint in adverse weather conditions. Humidity and lower temperatures can extend drying times, whereas higher temperatures can cause the paint to dry too quickly.
KILZ Original is an oil-based primer and stain blocker which can block/seal severe stains and odors but has higher volatile organic compounds (VOC's) which are organic chemical compounds that vaporize and enter the atmosphere.
Yes! But you must follow ONE simple rule to ensure the best possible finish: the underlying finish must be absolutely dry.
Water based primer is usually used for walls and ceilings where there is new work and preparation is required, and oil based primer is primarily used for doors, windows, metal or woodwork. Enamel is hardier so surfaces that require heavy traffic or exposure to the elements are usually painted in enamel.
Not all bonding primers are self-leveling. If you've selected one that is not, sanding is a necessity to create a smooth surface for your paint or topcoat. Use fine-grit sandpaper so that you do not damage the surface. Sanding will allow for superior adhesion and durability.
Top Performers
We experimented with lots of primers for our tests to find the best primer for painting stained wood. The top performers we found were: Seal Grip from PPG, Stix from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams Extreme Bond Primer, and Behr Bonding Primer from Home Depot.
