Oil based primer and acrylic top coat? - goaliedad - 07-03-2023
Wife is doing a project with an old claw foot tub. She stripped the outside, but there was surface rust. I picked up Rustoleum Rusty Metal primer- it is oil based. Can we apply a basic exterior “latex” paint over it?
It will be left outside once it is painted

My understanding has always been that you can put latex over oil based, but not the reverse.
