oil based paint for windows?

[roadk]

i have a 1924 colonial with original windows (with several coats of paint) and primed them with oil based primer.
it was a change from what i've tried in other rooms- priming with latex based primer.
problem i found with the latex primer was that no matter how careful i was, the windows get stuck shut from the dry latex paint.

then i tried the oil based primer and they didn't get stuck....

so, would it stand to reason that if i were to paint these windows with oil based paint, they wouldn't stick?

is this some painter's secret?

thanks for the help..

oil base paint for windows

Hi, I have never had to use oil base paint for windows to prevent them from sticking. I find that just moving the windows up or down a little about 1/2 hour after painting them is typically all I have to do. Sometimes if the paint is taking longer to dry because of humidity or lower temps, I may do it again in about an hour.
