Hello,
A couple of years ago we re-designed our son's box room with built in bed frame and mdf cupboards. We put lining paper on the mdf cupboards and painted the mdf, skirting, door, etc, with waterbased gloss.
A few years on and the painted surfaces are looking grubby, frayed and tired. We have decided to re-paint with oil based gloss.
My question is do we need to prime the water based gloss with emulsion before glossing? Or will it be sufficient to just wash down the water-based gloss and then use the oil based gloss?
Whichever way we use, will it need one or two coats of oil based gloss?
