Can you use a latex primer under enamel paint?
Latex paint can be used as a primer but the results may not be what you want. Primer is less expensive than latex paint and has special qualities that create a seal and help the finish layer of paint adhere better. In the long run you will save time and money by using the correct product for the job.

Wall that has been sponged a mauve color I'm painting over it with a dark beige color can i use a white primer or should i have my primer tinted?
As long as the original paint is intact, you do not even need a primer. The advantage about using a primer is that it might help to hide the old color easier, but you will have to buy the primer AND the paint that you like. Is the existing paint latex? Is the new paint latex? Is there any bare drywall? Unless there is something that we don't know, I would just buy enough paint to paint the wall 2 coats. If you want to prime it, you can have the primer tinted a little to get you closer to the color that you have chosen, but it will be more trouble and work than is necessary.

In most cases yes. Primer is applied according to what it is going on, not what is going over it. - Latex / acrylic / water-based primers are good over drywall, stucco, brick, patches and repairs made with polyfil or other drywall patching compounds, paper, and many other porous materials. Once the primer is applied and dry any type of paint may be painted over it.

Can Behr primer and paint be used over oil paint?
When a manufacturer claims that their paint is a paint and primer in one, all they are promising is that you can use that paint as the first coat over drywall or a previously painted surface that is clean and in good shape other than a few ordinary repair materials like spackle or putty. These paints can not normally be used a s bridge between oil and latex paints. For these applications, and any other application other than a simple repaint, a specialty primer should be used.
Can you use gloss latex over oil base paint?
I'm not an expert, but if you paint the gloss paint with flat paint or primer and then rough the paint or scratch grooves in the paint your plaster should stick. Your grooves might need to be fairly deep. Not so deep as to go through the original plaster or drywall (depending on the original surface), but as deep as you can go. A cross-hatching pattern would probably be best. You may have to sand the paint off. I have gotten lucky in the past and have not had to.
Will oil base paint stick to latex paint?
I'm not too sure, but it probably says on the can. I have used both latex and oil based paint; and I can't stand oil-based paint. It's more difficult to work with than with latex paint.

The paint drips off the brush before you get it to the wall because the the paint is oily. Imagine painting with motor oil. It's almost that bad. I'll never use oil based paint again. its nothing like painting with motor oil, more like molasses I have been painting house's/ skyscrapers/oil rigs for over 25 years. & yes you can use oil base paint over latex, 1st you scruff the existing paint with sand paper, then dust, put 1 coat of primer(Kilz primer is the best I have found to use) over latex paint a lite coat will do. let dry & now your free to start painting.

Can you mix enamel and latex paint together?
A primers is basically used to seal a surface and give the top coat "tooth". A primer should be chosen for the surface it is going on, oil based primers adhere better to surfaces like bare wood, slick finishes, and old oil based paint. Once the primer has dried any kind or paint may be applied as a top coat.
