Can I use Interior Alkyd Enamel paint as a primer for an Interior Acrylic Latex paint?
Hi. No you can’t use the Alkyd enamel as a primer. It is an oil based paint & you cannot paint latex over it. The paint would just peel off. Primer isn’t expensive and if you go to your local hardware store explain to them what you want to paint & they will get you the best one for your project. You can use oil over latex but not the other way around. You could also just put 2 or 3 coats of the paint you have over the wallpaper. If you ever plan on taking the wallpaper off I recommend you doing it before you paint as you will never get it off later.
