Hello there. We decided to paint our house walls last year before Diwali. At that time, we were thinking which one would be better between oil based primer vs water based. 

So, we asked our painter and he gave us a few differences between the two to help us out.

What are the Differences Between Oil Primer vs Water Based Primer?

Here are some of the major differences between the oil based primer and the water based primer.

Oil Based Primer Water Based Primer

It is used in areas where a tight seal is needed.

This works well for indoor areas that won’t often come in contact with water.

Oil based isn’t easy to clean.

The Water based primer can be cleaned using water, thus it can be cleaned easily.

It has a longer drying time.

It can dry up pretty quickly.

It released more VOCs, thus not suitable for indoor spaces.

Due to the low VOC emission, it is suitable indoors.

It is a better option for sealing stains. 

It struggles to cover stains.

It can be used on fresh wood, to seal stains and when you’re using an oil-based paint.

It works well on furniture, walls, toys, and indoor spaces.

So, when you are deciding between the oil based primer versus water based primer, I recommend you see the area where you’re painting, what is the surface type, are there any stains or not, etc. This will help you in making the right choice for the primer.

This is all about primer oil based vs water based. I hope you now know the differences between these two types of primers.
