Oil based paint- now what do I use?

| I painted an already painted old high chair with oil based paint from the paint store. What I plan next is to paint a bear or Raggady Andy scene in the seat with the spindles of different color. The question is, 'WHAT TYPE OF PAINT DO I USE?' Acrylic, acrylic enamel or what?
My main concern is type of paint over paint to use.
Your thought please! Grama |

| Oil can be painted over acrylic, but acrylic cannot be painted over oil without a primer inbetween. To be safe, even though there are lots of new products I am sure to be unaware of, I would paint in oil and when dry, seal. The best way to paint in oil is in thin layers allowing each layer to dry. |
