Waterbased Undercoat Turps topcoat
Yep I did it .....
Doing up my new/old trailer.
I stripped off all the old paint from the timber and metal, painted the metal with coldgal undercoat, painted the timber with waterbased under coat on saturday, came home for lunch today (monday), got a tin of paint out of the shed and slapped it on, then remembered that "that paint smell" was a turps based paint.
Now I can't quite rememberback 20 years, but will I get bubbling or a reaction betwwen the two????
luckily I only did one board on the rear tailgate, not all the others!!!!!!
Hoping someone remembers....Gaz......

Solvent-based paints over water-based, ( Acrylic ), undercoats / sealers,- I do it all the time. Providing the undercoat / sealer is hard dry, and sandable you won't have any probs as modern-day acrylic undercoats / sealers are formulated to be safely used under either acrylic, or solvent-based topcoats. Although I am NOT an expert on paint products, over the years I have a habit of asking various Paint Co. Reps heaps of , ( annoying ? ) questions when I come across one in our local hardware shop,- and most times I receive sensible answers, as that's what Sales Reps are for aren't they ???
Hope this bit of info is of help,
Roger

Solvent over water? AFAIK you should be fine. I also do that all the time.
I've found it's t'other way - water over solvent - that's the one prone to lemon peeling.

No problems,use some PENETROL in the oil paint for a smooth brush mark free finish

Thanks fellas,
I dont think the penetrol is required as I ripped off the paint with a flapper disc and maznaged to get a real interesting finish that looks similar to the surface oif the moon!!
might not try the same procedhure with the rest of the trailer
Thanks Gaz!Gaz......
