Sand or texture paint over oil based paint?

We had lead work done by a contractor through our city about 2 years ago. Our kitchen had a sand paint on the walls, and there was some cracks and broken spots that they fixed. Well the idiots used a stucco type to retexture the walls, rather then sand paint, so it is obviously bumpier in those spots. Then to seal the lead, they covered it all with oil base paint.


I am getting ready to paint the kitchen. I would like to somewhat smoth the stucco or texuture the rest, basically as easily and cheaply as possible.


I love the look of the Behr SandWash. However from what I have been told and read on the paint, I would have to prime, foundation coat, paint coat, clear top coat, and possible multiple coats of each. I'm not thrilled with that thought.


Is there some sort of oil based sand paint or texture paint that maybe I could do it in one or two steps? Maybe something to thicken it that with a thick nap roller will texture it a bit to even it out?Sand or texture paint over oil based paint?
Hi there,





You do need to at least prime over oil based paint and best one for covering that product is called ';BIN'; primer and one coat will usually do the trick.





Behr (at Home Depot only) has a texture paint that is wonderful! It rolls on like ordinary paint though it is much thicker, covers just about any roughness and smooths to a wonderful, professional texture finish.Sand or texture paint over oil based paint?
use finish [top coat] drywall mud with 18inch trowel and skim coat /light sand then paint
hi , whene the people painted over the lead, its because that is an easier way to seal it off from harming you. other wise you would of had to remove the lead and thats bio stuff, or big bucks.then when they did the stucco thing it was to cover up the inprofections, then when they painted it with oil paint it was to seal the lead, which they could of used latex. but if someone is living in the house at the time of construction they could not sand any lead based paint because, of the dust. its harmfull to us.the dust in the air or the residue that forms on the all substrates. back to the oil coat, is that once you put oil on a surface, worst is a stucco finish. you cant sand it . it is a very hard finish. then we go back to the dust thing. so i am sorry but, you may have to scrap the stucco all off the walls to get a sand finish. and make sure all the dust and paint chips are cleaned up after each work day exspicaly if you have children.





hope this helps, P.O.
1.There is no easy fix.


2.Sanding is always good although time consuming and laborious.


3.If you own it and want to keep it,do the extra step.


4.Think of the end results.


I would personally buy a cheap palm sander to use to knock down the gloss and rough spots.After that has been cleaned thoroughly with soap and water to remove the residue I would skim the wall with a couple of really thin coats of mud with a light sanding between coats,with a good final sand to finish,Use good lighting from all angles.Then prime w/kilz or comparable.No fun is having fun in home repairs
