DeeAnn Cecchetti (Yard Artist) on Mar 29, 2015Yes, just make sure it is very dry for a least a couple days....the paint will last FOREVER on this wood. We did my porch about 25 years ago using linseed oil first then paint.....It's still great looking today even in Illinois winters!Helpful Reply

D & K on Mar 29, 2015Yes you can paint over linseed oil once it's had a chance to dry, although one suggestion...use an oil base primer and not latex. My rule of thumb; if the previous finish was oil base use and oil base primer. If the previous finish was latex use a latex primer. Any new paint will stick to any primer but a latex primer will not always stick very well to a previous oil base finish regardless of how well it's sanded.Helpful Reply
