Can I paint on old latex paints?
Which paints adhere to old glossy latex paints or to old wallpaper painted with latex paints?
These wall paints can be used to paint these surfaces without a primer:
Farrow & Ball
- Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion
- Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion
Little Greene
- Little Greene Absolute Matt Emulsion
- Little Greene Intellligent Matt Emulsion
Sanderson
- Sanderson Active Emulsion
Zoffany
- Zoffany Elite Emulsion
Paint & Paper Library
- Paint & Paper Library Pure Flat Emulsion
- Paint & Paper Library Architects Matt
Morris & Co.
- Morris Chalky Matt Emulsion
Designers Guild
- Designers Guild Perfect Matt Emulsion
With the mineral silicate paints from Le Corbusier, we would advise against painting directly onto latex paints.
If you want to retain a slightly glossy look like a latex paint, we recommend Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion.
This has the same gloss level as a semi-gloss latex paint.
