Converting to Latex

3079 Views 6 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  bilug
Gentlemen, I am officially hanging up my oil brushes and beginning to only use latex from now on ( other than the occasional oil primer applications ). Besides the risks to my own health, I'm certain that my clients will appreciate the change as well.

Can you please educate me on the best paint and techniques to use? I used to use Ben Moore oil satin on all my trim and doors. Should I now use Ironclad low lustre 363 latex, or would say a Ben Moore latex pearl be o.k. for trim? I've also heard good things about S.W. proclassic waterbourne.

Will latex topcoat ( over top of oil in a repaint ) be just as durable and prove to stand up in the long run for my clients?

I've read on previous forums that these new ceramic paints are thin and have a tendancy to run.

Please take me to school on how to make life easier by switching to latex for good.

Thanks Guys!
