Haven't heard of painting over linseed oil. Maybe no problem??? Let

It would have to be oil based paint. I'm almost sure latex would not
hold to oiled wood, and latex is not as durable or this application.

Linseed oil is an ingredient in some varnishes.


I think linseed oil is an ingredient in many oil based paints too.
