So, picture this: you're standing in front of a wall or a piece of furniture, brush in hand, ready to unleash your inner Picasso with a fresh coat of paint. But wait, what's this? The previous paint job was done in oil-based paint? Oh dear.
Fear not, my paint-splattered friend, for I have just the solution for you! If you want to switch to a water-based paint system but the previous coat was done in oil-based paint, there are a few things you need to do first.
First, you'll want to give the surface a good clean to remove any dirt, grime, or old paint that might be lurking around. Once it's all spick and span, you'll need to sand it down a bit to give the new paint something to grip onto. This step is crucial, otherwise your beautiful new paint job might start peeling or flaking off in a matter of days.
Now, it's time to apply a grip/adhesion primer/undercoat. This will help the water-based paint adhere to the oil-based paint underneath. Let it dry completely before applying your water-based paint of choice. And voila! You're all set to paint to your heart's content, with the added bonus of not having to deal with harsh fumes and difficult clean-up associated with oil-based paint.
So go forth, my fellow paint enthusiasts, and let your creativity run wild with your newfound knowledge of switching from oil-based to water-based paint systems!

Hi Phil, Firstly, thank you for sharing your wisdom on so many decorating challenges, first class pal 👍 Now for my question. You suggest Zinsser 123 as a grip coat option, and go on to say 7- 10 days before fully cured, (therefore no point scratch testing prematurely). Are you recommending 123 should be left 7-10 days to fully cure, before uc and 2 top coats are applied? Again, much obliged to you!

Hi. No, once it dried you UC and when that's dry, top coat. Also look at the new Aqua BIN. Other Paints have Primer/UC that have adhesion properties to them without needing a dedicated grip primer. Isomat All Primer and isolac UC are good. Capraol HaftPrimer is another. Haft, means grip in German I've been told.

You're a star, cheers Phil! Based on your positive product test, I've actually got Bedec primer u/c and the "hand in glove" satin. In your opinion, would the Bedec primer u/c have sufficient adhesion properties, (like the isomat etc), when applied to properly prepared, oil based gloss doors?

@@stevehinson4957 that's very good too. Being proper acrylic you'll be impressed. Give the gloss the usual good sand to give it a key and dust off.

Thanks for the info Phil... I will have a good look at this system I understand it's better for the environment and quicker to do I just hope I don't spend my time doing this, to find I have to do it every year because it's not tough enough but I will try 👍

I think my biggest problem with painting before I watched you Phil was the amount of paint I was trying to put on a door skirting in one coat, cheers for the demonstration and information
