[A/S] Re: Interior Paint

Peg,
I also agree that an alklyd (oil) finish is very, very durable. High 
quality oil base paint comes in flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss and 
high-gloss. I would stick with a satin or eggshell finish. If I were 
painting the interior of my trailer, I would certainly prime first. 
However, my choice for priming is without a doubt B-I-N by Zinsser. 
(Fairly easy clean-up with ammonia)  It adheres to everything, 
including ceramic tile and laminate, and drys quickly. It 
may be tinted to the color of your choice and is sold everywhere, 
Home Depot and maybe Wally World, though I am not sure. It is a 
shellac base primer sealer and does have a strong odor. You may use 
it whether your present finish is latex or oil.

P.S.  You may use oil over latex but not latex over oil.  Why not 
faux finish it?  Good luck!
