Answers To Paint Questions

How do you answer your customers' questions about oil base versus latex paint? If you have problems, this should help.

Q: ls an alkyd or latex primersealer best for painting drywall?

A: Latex primer-sealers penetrate into a porous surface less than an alkyd primer with better sealing and uniformity plus maximum "holdout" of topcoats for gloss, color and hiding uniformity. They will not raise the nap of drywall.

Q: What about plaster surfaces? ls an alkyd or latex primer preferred?

A: Latex, primer-sealers resist alkali and the effect of moisture better. An oilbase additive should always be added. To reduce alkalinity and moisture content, new plaster should cure at least 30 days before paint is applied.

Q: Is a latex or alkyd primer preferred over masonry surfaces?

A: An acrylic latex paint is preferred where high alkalinity is a factor. Bonding coats or surface conditioners topcoated with acrylic latex work best on weathered stucco or heavy chalk conditions. An oil base bonding coat is the best choice for a surface where efflorescence is a problem.

Q: Which is best over wood, a latex or alkyd paint?

A: An alkyd enamel is the most common choice for interior woodwork. Acrylic latex paints prevent cracking and peeling on exterior woods because of their flexibility. Alkyd primers or specially formulated exterior latex primers which resist staining should be used with cedar and redwood. An alkyd primer is the choice for hardboard.

Q: Is an alkyd or latex primer the best choice over metal surfaces?

A: Alkyd or oil base primers are preferred although recent technology has overcome many of the deficiencies of latex metal primers. Specifically formulated cementitious alkyd primers or acrylic latex paints should be used with galvanized metal because it is highly alkaline and reactive with alkyd or oil based paint.

Q: What about finish coats like flat wall paints, interior enamels or house paints? Is an alkyd or latex best?

A: Latex paints are by far the best choice.

Q: Can today's latex paint be applied over an aged oil base or alkyd paint?

A: High quality latex paints will provide excellent adhesion over sound, properly prepared alkyd or oil base paints. An alkyd paint will tolerate adverse surface conditions, such as chalk, dirt, glossy areas, better.
