Best Answer

yes..paint KILZ on first

Or paint any oil based primer first if your topcoat is water based. Kilz is a stain kill primer and even though it dries fast, it tends to be hard to sand. An enamel undercoat works much better as a bridge.

If you're using an oil-based top coat, you do not need a primer, just make sure that the surface is clean and gloss free.

Is it OK to use oil paint over latex paint when applying concrete striping paint?

You can not put oil paint over latex paint. Oil is a rigid coating and latex is a flexible coating. When you put a rigid coating over something that is flexible the rigid coating cracks off.
