Re: Enamel Over Latex


When you say enamel, do you mean oil or latex?

Re: Enamel Over Latex


I don't know of any way to get oil off the walls. I'd sand it, and prime with an oil primer, then repaint with latex finish.

Re: Enamel Over Latex


You should be able to sand it lightly, put a PVA over it and then coat 2x with latex.
