Question:

I need to paint my exterior windows and they have already been painted once. I don't know if the paint is oil or latex. Does it make a difference as my husband has already bought latex paint? Also, we are going from green to cream and it is not covering well, any suggestions.

Answer:

Do you preparation according to instructions on the can of primer you'll apply first. You'll apply a primer that is meant to cover either water base or oil and then you can use whichever you wish. I'd opt for water based too.
