Should I just re-sand and start over or will it be ok for a few years? It's an internal window frame.

That’s what a painter told me and the guys from my paint store.

I will be painting a fire damaged house and want to get the preparation right. I was under the impression that I could use any oil based paint/primer to seal it then paint with water based paint. I know when I painted over gloss paint I applied something first before painting the water based. Do I need to do that? or add something to the paint? Thanks. I'm about to put down some Merbau.
