When do you use oil base primer?
At this piont, the only reason to use oil-based paints and primers is if you're painting over a surface that was previously painted with an oil-based paint - and don't want to remove all of the old paint. Latex paint will not adhere to oil paint. latex paint has fewer VOCs, much easier to clean, etc. Not completely true. Alkyd (oil) primers are still needed for bare plaster in older homes. I still use it for new wood (not composite) trim, too. Many alkyd primers are formulated to take latex topcoats and still provide superior leveling for a better finish with semi-gloss and gloss paints. Never, ever use alkyd primer on bare wallboard. It will ruin the face paper (the gray surface) on the wallboard.
Why does paint that has cured for over one month scratch off walls. Walls were clean and painted latex over latex with a premium primer all in one paint?
Primers are not water proofers, in fact primers can't be left as the finish coat because they have no durability. If the paint acts as a primer how can you expect the paint to stand up as a true finish coat.
