oil based paint vs. latex, HELP

04/08/2002 11:22 AM Beth Moore

We are in the process of a remodeling project, combining old with new. In the old part, I want to repaint the step railing, wainscotting, and other trim with oil base since that's what's already on it (probably one coat), And paint all the new addition trim with latex. My husband wants to paint it all with latex even if it means sanding, priming and then painting over the oil. Help, which would be the better choice? Which holds up better in high traffic areas?
