Dont pay him and demand that he replace materials.
Call police, take him to court if he doesn't pay.
On interior and exterior walls and ceilings the paints should be water based acrylic.
On timber frames, doors and windows the paint should be oil based enamels or varnish and polyeurothanes for clearcoat timber finishes.
Use outdoor water based acrylic paint on weather exposed colored timber window frames and walls.
Use Oil based paints for outdoor metalwork and roofing.
In the bathrooms and wet areas that attract mould mix anti-mould into paints.
Always clean surfaces before painting, and sand them if there is flakey or old paint.
Always use quality brushes and rollers for painting, the results are worth it.
Clean brushes thoroughly - Mineral turpentine for oil based paints and varnishes - water for water based acrylics.
If you are using two pack polyurathanes use cheaper brushes or lambswool pads and throw away after use.
The painter you got is a hack - rip off merchant.
I have never heard of anyone stupid enough to mix primer and top coats together, less someone claiming to be a professional painter.
Make sure the dickhead used the right type of paints on your house walls/ceilings windows/sashes doors/frames by going through my checklist.
If he has painted acrylic paints on timber window frames and surrounds you will have to sand it off.
If he has painted oil based paints on your walls and ceilings the paint will have to be sanded back to acrylic otherwise it will peel off in sheets.
Report him to the authorities.
