I want to paint over some old yellowed oil-based gloss with water-based satinwood. The first room I did using Zinsser permawhite. It said on the tin that it was self-priming so I didn’t use a primer. It’s had several months to cure and I can easily scrape it off with my fingernail.
The next room I did a lot more research and prep. I sanded down the gloss, cleaned it with sugar soap, applied two coats of Zinsser 123 as an adhesion primer, and it’s basically the same. In fact I peeled a section of paint that was about 2 inch wide accidently when removing the painting tape.
Would I be better using an oil-based primer like Zinsser B-I-N? I figured since the problem was oil paint that adding oil-based primer wouldn’t help but maybe this is different?
There’s some paint on the can that has dried and I absolutely cannot scrape it off no matter how hard I try, it would be really nice if it stuck to what I’m actually painting that well...
