relatively new home owner here. so this may be a "dumb question of the day" nominee.
but I want to re-paint the trim in a couple bedrooms and bathrooms. quarter round, baseboard, door trim.....that kind of stuff.
when I have done in the past, I just got some plain-Jane white semi-gloss water-based trim paint. latex...and away we go. but this house....the paint looks different. almost "thicker." and although the prior owner left a lot of paint, I only see one (very, very old) white paint. its an acrylic trim paint.
can I paint my normal white semi gloss latex over what is already there? will it cover it and look ok? does it matter? do I need to figure out if its an oil-based or acrylic. and if so, how do I do that?
thanks for any help here. enjoy the weekend!!!
