You can use it, but it won't last long.
Use an oil based primer for oil based paint. The oil-based paint will eventually break down the latex primer.
Latex can be painted over oil-based primer, but not the other way 'round.
Kilz is your best bet for priming over wood cabinets. Kilz hides things like knot holes, burns, water damage, etc.
If your cabinets have knotholes, I would dab the knotholes with primer, let dry, then paint everything with your particular primer. A quick scuff with 150-grit sandpaper would be a good idea also.

∙ 15y agoYes. The purpose of the primer is to seal the wood so that the paint will stay on the surface instead of penetrating the wood. If you don't use a primer on the new wood, it takes almost twice as many coats of paint to cover properly.

∙ 11y agoYes. All new lumber we install is primed with an oil primer and finished with two coats of Latex. Oil primer wants to work into the wood, so it should only be used on new or a really old paint job that is very dry and you can let it dry for 48 hours before finish painting.

∙ 13y agoYes. oil will go over latex and/or acrylic with no problems whatsoever, it is usually inadvisable to paint latex or acrylic over oil (unless the oil is a primer).
Primers are designed for the surface they are going on to.
There are oil primers for wood, rust-proof primers for older metal, primers specifically for galvanized metal, auto-body primer; there are spirits based primers for sealing in water stains, wood knots and other things that tend to "bleed" through a top coat; and there are latex/acrylic based primers for drywall, and general contractors use.
All of these primers adhere to the surface they are applied to and give a uniform surface with "tooth" for the top-coat to adhere to.

∙ 11y agoPart of your question does not make sense - "latex primer oil base" is a non sequitor. - It cannot be both 'latex'and 'oil base'. - However you can paint latex paint over either latex primer OR oil primer.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes you can as long as the primer hasn't been uncoated for over two weeks.

Can you paint over a latex high gloss paint with latex primer without sanding first?
You didn't mention whether you were using latex or oil based primer and paint, but generally the point of using primer is so that you can paint over it with any form of wall paint. Just read the label on your primer can to make sure it is compatible. On the other hand, if you wanted to paint the primer over the satin gloss, you need to sand the surface lightly to remove the sheen of the paint and provide a suitable surface for the primer to adhere properly.
