| Oil paint over latex primer
We recently painted our new bathroom (over the drywall) and we used a latex primer. We had an old oil based paint that we used over the latex primer not realizing what is was. Is it ok like that or do we need to do something different? If so what should we do? |

| That's no problem.
What could be a problem is the NEXT time you paint. You will need to sand the entire surface with 150 grit or wash it with TSP so the new layer of paint will properly adhere to the oil-based layer.

If you use the oil the fumes will be strong in that small room. |

Mildew loves oil paint. Not a good choice. |

You said that it would be ok to put oil paint over the latex primer right? Well I was wondering if the paint will peel or fall off when moisture gets to it.P.S. the area that we painted was the ceiling if that makes a difference. |

You can put oil over latex, but you can't put latex over oil- so you are stuck with using oil from now on. Do not try to put latex over it, even with sanding, etc as mentioned above. Guaranteed to blister. |

You can if you use the proper primer.... and prep right.
