You have a log home with a petroleum base finsih and you wish to paint it with a latex paint. We recommend a product from Zinsser (http://www.zinsser.com called Cover Stain. According to the manufacturer, "Cover Stain is an all-purpose oil-base stain-killing primer-sealer. Ideal for interior and exterior applications. Recoat in only one hour. Great for cedar bleed. May be used under any oil-base or water-base topcoat. Convenient 13-oz. aerosol spray is great for spot priming stains." The existing surface should be thoroughly cleaned and allowed to dry prior to priming or repainting. We always recommend that you test an inconspicuous area first, just to be certain that there is no negative interaction between the existing finish and the primer. Once you're confident, you can prime the remaining portions of the house and repaint with a a high quality exterior latex topcoat of your choice. Builders Websource.
