I am attempting to paint some cabinets in a home that I just purchased and I was unsure of the type of paint that was used prior. I have sanded the cabinets and began to paint (latex semi-gloss, after a day of drying I attempted to put the second coat on and it lifted the paint right off. What does this mean? I want to paint the cabinets properly and actually be able to wash them without the paint coming off every time.
I have looked over some of the previous posts regading the possiblity that it is an oil based paint that I am painting over. Do I need to strip the paint off since sanding didnt do the trick? Should I have used a primer before painting with the latex?
Please help, I cant afford a painter to come in and do the entire kitchen
