Hi,
I am currently painting my room. Im now doing the wood work (skirting, door, architrave, etc). These wooden surfaces were previously painted with oil based gloss, using very old paint, that contains lead.
The best way to paint on this surface is to rub down with wet sandpaper to provide a key. However, I want to avoid the rub down, if possible.
Ive tried using Zinsser Bullseye 123, water based paint. Apparently this product can grip onto gloss paint. Unfortunately, this is not the case, where the Zinsser Bullseye 123 paint is easily scraped off of the old gloss paint.
My question: would Zinsser BIN, oil based paint, be able to grip gloss paint better than its water-based counterpart? Could I get away with using liquid sandpaper on the gloss paint to rough it up a little, just to provide a better key for the primer to grip onto?
What would be the easiest way to paint over this gloss paint, without needing a rub down?
Thanks
