I will be repainting a couple of walls that are now painted with oil base semi-gloss. I'd rather invest more work up front than have problems later.

My plan is to sand the walls with a 3M sanding sponge and then wash with TSP. Before painting, next wipe down with Jasco Liquid Sander / Deglosser and then apply a coat of Kilz Adhesion primer. After that, a coat of satin or eggshell latex paint.

Is this a good plan to avoid adhesion problems later? Is this more work than I need to do? Would appreciate all helpful suggestions. Thanks.

Wow, that does sound like a lot of work.

If you don’t find your answer from someone else here, you might want to ask at a Sherwin-Williams store. Experienced Sherwin-Williams employees usually seem to know their products well and can give good advice.

Somewhere on the board a person advised that S W paints is now making a latex product that will cover oil base paint without difficult preparation. Again, check with the pros first and maybe save yourself some work.
