I have tried it in the past.
It looked good at first, then after it dried.
The latex peeled right off.
Then I really sanded it down & tried again.
seemed like the oil base sinks into the wood & the latex peeled again.
Sorry but that was my disaster.

∙ 12y agoPPG makes a product called Break-Through that will adhere directly to oil base paint and will dry hard in as little as 15 minutes. Depending on where you live, you should be able to pick it up at a Pittsburgh or Porter Paints store or dealer in your area. Break-Through costs about $60 a gallon and requires no primer.

Can you use latex paint for a wood fence?
What do you mean? Yes, paint on wood trim is typically latex these days. Some older homes may still have alkyd (oil), though. To find out for sure, put a little nail polish remover on a cotton swab and rub it on the paint in an inconspicuous location. It it gets soft and starts to come off, it's latex. Either way, sand it lightly and recoat with the same type of paint and you're good. If you're asking about bare wood, DON'T USE LATEX! The water will swell the grain of the wood. Use an oil primer that is made to take latex topcoats.
Can you use water base primer over oil base paint before top coating with latex paint?
You can always paint latex ( water based )over an oil based paint as the latex just dries on the surface. However don't paint an oil based over a latex paint. Oil based paints need to absorb into the wood or other surfaces or it will just dry and flake off. For more information on the differences and when or not to use a latex or oil paint please see the following article. . http://www.ehow.com/how_4713170_between-latex-oil-base-paint.html

Can you paint oil Base paint over latex primer?
paint it with a universal primer such as "BLOCKER" brand first Yes, you can. My preference is to use oil base primer under latex (water base) paint, because in my experience the oil base primer lasts longer. It stays stuck to the wood longer. I think latex primer is basically bogus. I have wasted a lot of time using latex primer and it comes loose and I have to sand it all off and use oil base primer. Latex primer does not work. Just like latex paint sticks poorly to bare wood. Latex paint does not have much "stick" (also called "tack"). It is a thin sheet of rubber, and there is very little "tack" to it to keep it glued to the wood. Latex peels off readily, once you put a knife under an edge.
