Reply to comment by --Ty-- in Bought house and old paint comes off with barely a scratch. How to prep for a new paint? by Cychotical

Not understanding your comment. My mother had latex paint on top of oil paint, and the latex paint peeled off. I would not recommend that anyone do this.

My point is this is anecdotal. There's nothing inherently wrong with using water-based paints over oil-based ones. If you do the work properly, and apply the principles of good painting prep, it works just fine.

My time in the Home Depot paint department has shown that people do not follow the principles of good paint prep haha
