| I have a few pieces of furniture that have been painted with a relatively thin coat of latex (no primer - don't ask) I intend to sand a wee bit, but not enough to take down the whole latex finish.
I'll be using Ben Moore Satin Impervo Oil that's leftover from painting my cabinets earlier this year. I am loving how sturdy the oil based paint is. I have an oil based stain blocking primer that I'll be using and then hitting with a few coats of the Satin Impervo. I apologize for asking a question that has probably been answered before, but I haven't been able to find any good information on painting oil over latex. Most people want to do latex over existing oil. |

| first, scrap off loose paint, wipe with bleach, use an oil base primer (zinnser is my pick), caulk, fill nail holes, sand and clean, then apply your oil base paint. I agree, oil base paint on cabinets is way better. |
