You don't specify on what material you are using the primer on.
In either case primer is paint that is made to seal and bond to the material you are painting, which in turn helps the regulat paint to bond. You CAN use primer as a final coat but the primer won't give you the hardness that a paint will or the shine, but there is no reason that you can't use it. Depends on the look you want. Hope this helps
yes, you can. the type of primer rarely depends on the finish coat. the purpose of primer is to prepare the surface for finish coat. Latex primer with oil finish is ok. oil primer with latex finish is ok.
No, primer has no lasting qualities as a finish. It needs a harder paint over it.

Once you have sanded and wiped down your wooden porch, use a top quality oil based primer. When that has dried apply a finish coat of latex "Porch & Floor" enamel . This will give you a durable finish that should last approximately five years.
Prime it with an oil based primer, then roll or spray your finish coat on.
