I have a pantry that I'm fixing up. Part of the door frame wasn't painted in a gloss like the rest of it. I have sanded the frame (leaving the properly done part). Due to it only being a small area, I'm hoping to save money and not buy a new prep coat. Previous owners have left a tin of frame high gloss enamel. Is it possible to use this Prep 4 in 1 water based paint, that I used for the pantry walls. And then use the oil enamel as the topcoat?
Or will that just not work at all? It doesn't have to be the ultimate solution, just something that can save me money and fix the situation for now I think.
The last photo shows where I need to paint.
Hi @rebelliouskiwi,
I have spoken with the British Paints technical team who have unfortunately told me these products are incompatible, and they no longer have an oil-based 4 in 1 prep coat you can use.
They have mentioned that Dulux White Prepcoat 1Step Oil Based Primer Sealer And Undercoat would be a suitable prep coat for this project.
Thank you for your question, please let me know if you have any others.
