I am doing my windows with oil primer then latex enamel top coat. I bought a $25 HVLP gravity feed touch up gun from menards, it works very well with both. you have to thin most paints I did 5 little plastic spoons of water per quart for the latex and 6 or 7 spoonfulls of paint thinner(mineral spirits) for the oil primer. Very good results! Although I would rather use water base primer for clean up reasons(I can't use water base primer because of stain bleed through). I am using Sherman Williams Pro block oil primer & dutchboy latex enamel semi-gloss trim paint.

Hope this helps
