Im attempting a repaint of all my kitchen cupboards. The downside, is that even after some research, I've come a croppa.
They're laminated and I've sanded them down and cleaned them. I've put on an oil based primer, left to dry. Now, this is where I've probably made a mistake. The paints I want to use, only come in water based eggshell or matt. So my thought process was that I would use a clear sealant afterwards to give it a sturdier surface that wouldnt chip and ruin so easy.
However, I've now used six matts on the primer to see which colour we like best and the paint is streaking, like it's not taking to the primer. I thought that it may need an undercoat on top of the primer, but this is streaking as well. I'll try an post an example for you.

See, some take to it fine, but others just streak. Mostly the Farrow and Ball paints.
What am I doing wrong as most of the advice states that you can use water based paint ontop of oil based primer with no issue
