I have primered my drywall ceiling with Zinsser oil based primer/sealer. A section of the ceiling will not be textured so it will be coated with regular ceiling flat paint (which I assume is not oil based). Will I run into any problems since I used an oil based primer?
You can use EITHER a latex or oil based paint over EITHER a latex or oil based primer.
But, there is really no good reason to use a flat paint on a ceiling other than to hide defects in the drywall up there. Some people suggest using a flat paint helps to scatter light reflected off the ceiling better. In my view, it's better to use a glossier paint up there if you smoke or burn candles or incense in your house so that you can clean that ceiling more easily.

Should be fine. Props for doing it the right way! :thumbup:
