There is no such thing as "regular paint" . There is oil based paint, alkyd paint, latex paint, epoxy paint, urethane paint and lacquer. They are all different and have different thinners and uses.

Can you put latex over oil base?

Water based paint such as latex and acrylic do not adhere well to oil paint. In order to paint over oil paint you must sand the surface and prime it with a good quality oil or alcohol based primer and then top coat with a water based paint. Oil based paints will adhere well to water based paints sp it is unnecessary to prime before top coating, unless you have had to do any repairs to the surface.


How do you paint with alkyd?

In the past oil paints referred to either petroleum based paints or linseed based paints. Today in the USA petroleum based paints are no longer sold and it is difficult to find linseed based paints though they do exist with a small proportion of linseed oil. Alkyd paints are made with synthetic oil and are readily available and have come to be known as "oil" paint.


How Can you sand oil paint off the wall?

easy. Oil based paint is very durable when cured. This makes it "easy" to sand because the paint powders up quickly unlike latex paint which remains more flexible therefor gumming up normal sandpaper. It is unusual to find interior walls coated with an oil based paint, it is normally found on interior trim, doors, and cabinetry. If you are wanting to paint over the oil based paint, you can use a liquid de-glosser to prep the walls and paint directly over the oil. If it is a major color change, use a primer tinted 50 percent strength of the final color. Like they said-"easy"
