Hey guys, first post; I apologize if this topic has been covered in the past. I am working on a remod, and the HO would like several interior doors, which are currently stained and coated with a dull poly to be painted to match the new base, etc. The painter has already come and gone, so I have been selected to complete this. The HO has acquired a Zinsser primer called "Cover Stain"; however, this is an oil based primer and the semi-gloss trim paint is of course a water based product. Aside from the obvious prep work on the doors (sanding, etc.), will the water based semi-gloss paint adhere to the oil based primer, or should I seek an oil based paint to complete the job?

Agreed. Are you painting all 6 sides? Bottom may not be necessary if they are stained and finished already
