How to Use Latex Paint Over Oil Based Primer

    • 1). Inspect the primed surface for dryness. Read the recommended dry time noted on the side of the container. Oil-based primer usually requires longer time to dry. Do not paint over wet primer.

    • 2). Fill cracks and nail holes in the primed surface using wood putty or filler. Caulk gaps around the edges of the wood. Allow the putty and caulk to dry according to its recommendations.

    • 3). Sand the entire primed surface with a sheet of 180-grit sandpaper. Sanding dulls the glossiness of the oil-based primer, allowing the latex paint to grip the surface better.

    • 4). Dust off the surface using a paintbrush or wipe a slightly dampened rag over the top. Wipe away moisture with a dry rag.

    • 5). Open a can of latex paint. Dump the paint into a clean 5-gallon bucket or a paint tray. Stir the paint thoroughly with a stir stick.

    • 6). Attach a clean paint roller to a paint handle. Wrap painters tape around a new roller to remove roller hairs.

    • 7). Dip the very end of a paint brush into the latex paint bucket and carefully cut-in the edges of the primed surface. Leave a wide enough cut-in strip of paint for the paint roller to reach.

    • 8). Grip the paint roller handle and lightly skim the entire surface of the roller on the surface of paint in the bucket. Do not dunk the roller in the paint.

    • 9). Roll the paint over the cut-in primed surface. Overlap the strips of paint for even coverage. Roll over the surface a couple times to reduce heavy paint stipple and excess paint buildup. Allow the latex paint to completely dry and apply a second coat if necessary.
