peeling trim
I have a problem whenever I paint trim in my house. I sand and prime it with a latex primer and then paint it, but it always peels. Does anyone know why? I know the walls were all terrible to paint as well. The paint sort of slid along the wall and did not cover well. It took many coats to do a nice job. I have no idea what is all on the walls and trim since ths is an older house.

peeling paint
It sounds to me like your house has been painted with a glossy oil. The only product that will truly stick is an oil based primer. After that task is complete you can go to a latex no probs. But you should continue with your diligent sanding.

You need to do this test:

Then you need to find out how old the paint on there is
Post up the answers, and that'll help
