What products are out there to help cure walls covered with oil based paint?

My house was built in the 60's and the first owner painted the kitchen walls with a high gloss, oil based paint. The next owner could only wallpaper because all other paints peel right off. I am ready to pull the wallpaper, but would like to be able to paint the walls. They are drywall. What do I need to do once all the wallpaper is removed to cure the walls for priming and painting? Serious answers only please.What products are out there to help cure walls covered with oil based paint?
This is an easy one... Follow these steps to be able to paint over what is there... this is the ONLY way to make paint stick to it:





1. Wash the walls with liquid TSP. Use the liquid instead of the powder as it's easier to mix, isn't toxic and won't need to be rinsed off. You'll find it at any good home hardware or paint store. TSP will remove ALL grease, grime and any other dirt.


2. Prime the wall with an OIL BASED primer. I suggest either Bull's Eye 1-2-3 or Kilz. If you don't prime with oil based primer, that's why the other paints come right off. You can't paint on top of oil paint with a latex paint or primer.


3. Let the primer dry completely.


4. Paint away to your heart's content. And yes, you can now use latex paint without it peeling, chipping or scratching off.





The secret is the oil-based primer... It will stick to the oil paint. And latex paint will stick to the oil based PRIMER (not oil paint).
