Priming an Oil Painted Wall- Oil Or Acrylic?

[@jackwardley3626]

i still do use oil paints on walls and sometimes ceilings in oil based eggshell or flat oil last so much longer

[@justinbrown5820]

True- there’s still some great uses for oil products- specifically for old plaster or priming applications.

[@jackwardley3626]

@@justinbrown5820 yeah there great cause you can use harsh cleaning agents on them i know these the acrylic scrub paints but they still aint as durable as oil eggshell and oil is cheaper and covers better and saves on a lot on prep work and spending more money on expensive stain blockers plus it's waterproof no more stained walls

[@pablohu6935]

Are u saying that to cover oil paint r u apply fresh start?? Or should I apply kilz...bin...and then apply latex paint?

[@justinbrown5820]

Use a 100% acrylic like Fresh Start to bind to oil. Then apply latex top coat. Use BIN ir Killz after that for any tannins or stains/ bleed through after. Without a respirator or being under air you’ll kill a lot of brain cells using that much BIN or Killz product. Hope this helps.

Which would produce the better result? Oil primer or the Acrylic?

[@ryanedwards2668]

Not sure if anyone's going to read this but I'm painting a house that was trashed and I had to spot prime with oil killz in many spots and the owner wants an eggshell finish what do I use to prime over the oil spots before finish coating?

How much does it take to dry???

[@cesarorozco2462]

Did a good job.

[@thewritebuttons]

What if your latex paint has primer in it? Do you still need to prime? Also, I really just have a small area that is oil from when I thought doing a mural was a good idea and I had run out of the one colour in acrylic. I saw another video where someone just used wall putty over the oil instead. Would that make more sense in my case? I also got a bottle of paint stripper, but I don't know which is the best option for me.

[@wolf360090]

oil primer as well then paint, the putty will not stick to the oil paint and will crack and fall off, and the paint in primer paint, it is not a true primer in it, and behr says prime while you paint,it is false advertisement,

[@jimmyrodriguez6676]

how can i check to see if primer was used before paint was put on

[@Taazzzy]

This was very informative man, loving the overlay text as well!!

[@creolecajun9988]

Some are saying you need to use oil base primer over oil base paint I'm gussing it doesn't matter?

[@wolf360090]

it does matter, you have to oil prime over anything oil, and bin, 123 or other bonding primers are not oil, and will let go..

[@mohammedfaizan8897]

Sir my wall have water paint I am put primer and after put oil paint

[@82camino96]

Good vid. You remind me of Timothy B. Schmidt.

[@ericsonganyoson9056]

Can i also prime before using an oil paint on a wall

[@NewWavePainting]

ericson ganyoson yes you can!

[@fudgedogbannana]

Right you are, just one thing, how do you get paint out of your beard? eh eh eh

[@jawadbashir6714]

He still removing paint from his beard🙄

[@patrickparmer1648]

Not at all what I meant when i said, "how to paint a room on canvas with oil paints". How do I even word it to NOT get results where someone is painting an actual room???

[@mshael.mshael5919]

How can I know if my wall paint is oil or acrylic 😕😫

[@wolf360090]

quick test to tell if you have oil paint or a water born paint..take finger nail polish remover.on a rag, and wipe it on the wall.if any color comes off then its a water born,if no color at all then its an oil paint

[@troyange1545]

Can I put oil over latex ?

[@unifiedfieldradio]

Yeah! Just not latex over oil! Unless you're priming exterior with oil then a latex will cover. Interior is fine- you just have to prime with a 100% acrylic if you want to convert back to latex- which is the future- lower volatile organic compounds and a massive palette of growing colours as oil is slowly phased out.

[@wolf360090]

if they painted an oil paint, you can not put a 100%acrylic over the oil pant to convert back, you have to use an oil primer over the oil paint..

[@pablohu6935]

@@wolf360090 and then than apply kilz or bin (oil primer)...can I paint with latex or should I apply latex primer??

[@wolf360090]

@@pablohu6935 not kiltz or bin they are not oil,, use cover stain made by the same company, then you can put laytex over it

[@nasaruddinajare9926]

Good video. But in the beginning, there is more talking than the demonstration. Thanks for posting...

[@wolf360090]

never use a water base primer on top of oil paint it will let go..

[@wolf360090]

@Spoiled Ramen if you have an oil paint or a varnish, use a good oil primer,like cover stain, do not use a laytex or any water borne over it, and def do not use 123 primer, it will let go over time ,

[@jimmyrodriguez6676]

how can i check to see if primer was used before paint was put on

[@NewWavePainting]

You can't really... Unless the paint has peeled ( latex was applied directly over the oil and wasn't primed) or the painters didn't do their job and you can see the colour underneath the coat- if it's a different colour than both the original colour and the new colour ( primer is usually white unless it's tinted) then you can probably bet it was primed. Also if it had a flat sheen, you can bet it's primed✔️
