Look for products labeled as "adhesion primers" or "bonding primers." Apply primer: Use a roller or brush to apply a thin, even coat of primer over the entire surface. Pay special attention to any repaired areas.

You can use a water based primer over oil base paint as long as you sand the oil base paint down first to allow the water based primer to stick to the surface!
You can paint older oil-based paint without sanding, but it's not always the best idea. If the oil-based primer or paint is in good condition, you may be able to get away with just painting over it. However, if the paint is starting to chip or peel, you need to sand it down before painting over it.
In addition, water-based paint is preferred when covering an oil-based product because it has a faster drying time and resists fading in the sunlight for exterior applications.
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.
It is recommended you always use a primer before embarking on a painting job. For best results use an oil-based primer if your top coat is oil based paint, or latex based primer if your top coat is latex-based paint.
Yes! But you must follow ONE simple rule to ensure the best possible finish: the underlying finish must be absolutely dry.
The two types of paint are not compatible, and if you try to apply oil paint over a latex base, you can expect issues like cracking and peeling. So, it's best to avoid using oil-based paint over latex. On the other hand, you can use latex paint over oil-based primer, but proper preparation is essential.

Firstly, when painting with oils, it is important to adhere to the three rules of oil painting. These are 'fat over lean', 'thick over thin' and 'slow-drying over fast-drying'. This means that each layer of paint should be progressively more flexible, thicker and slow drying than the one below it.

If the paint does NOT come off, it is oil-based paint and you will need to prime the surface with a bonding primer before applying latex paint. The primer can be latex, but it has to be a product that is made to prepare the surface and help with adhesion and that says “bonding” on the label.
The glossy surface of oil-based paints makes it so difficult for any other paint to bond. That's why, if you apply water-based paint straight to oil-based, it will flake and crack as the water-based paint pulls away. So, to get oil-based ready to paint over, you need to take away a lot of that gloss.
Simply put, oil-based paint is just paint with natural or synthetic oil as one of its main components. It dries extremely hard, which makes it very durable and resistant to nicks and dings. It will also hold up against stains. However, oil-based paint is slowly getting phased out.
Yes you can, but you will want to ensure the existing old oil-based paint is properly deglossed and clean to ensure a good bond with the water-based Kilz.
