What primer over interior latex trim paint?
Either oil or latex primer can be used over interior latex paint.
Can 100 percent acrylic paint be used to paint over latex paint?
100% acrylic paint can definitely go over latex. Acrylic paint actually is the same thing as latex paint. Some manufacturers differentiate their products as 100% acrylic and also have a product called latex that is made of acrylic plus co binders and other additives. So while one is 100% acrylic and the other is a mixture they are both water based and considered latex.
What is latex primer?

Acrylic paint for interior?
The two most popular types of paint for interiors is Oil or Latex. Since you're asking about acrylic paint I would assume you are wanting to paint on the walls. You can buy interior interior/exterior paint at Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, etc. If you're asking can you use acrylic, tube type, paint on the walls, yes, you can. But, make sure you're walls have been pre-primed/painted with latex paint before doing so. I've done a few murals with cheap tube paint, such as Apple Barrel and the Michaels store brand paint, and the pictures turned out wonderful. Always remember that you CAN paint oil over latex, but not latex (acrylic) over oil. The paint will peel. Another thing to keep in mind: if you are going to paint a kitchen or bathroom make sure you use no less than a satin paint, preferrably a semi-gloss; you can't wash flat or eggshell and if condensation occurs you may see water lines form in the paint. Hope this helped! Have a nice day!
How can you tell if a room was previously painted with oil-based paint or latex paint?
Any paint and decorating store should have little pads (like wet-wipes) that you rub onto the painted surface. Whether or not the paint rubs off will tell you what kind of paint was originally used.

Will latex acrylic fix flashing in eggshell enamel paint?
Flashing occurs when a surface has not been properly sealed, so a latex acrylic primer applied over the surface first will keep an eggshell enamel paint from flashing.
Can you use acyd paint over latex paint?
If you really want to ... yes. It might cause some issues later but should work for the most part as long as you apply a thin layer of paint. Acrylic house paint is normally a latex paint, so there should be no problem painting over a latex with acrylic. The only exception is if it is a solvent based acrylic silicone type paint. In this case, the coating will melt the latex paint, and if overworked while rolling, mix on the surface, which is normally a driveway or floor, discoloring the top coat.
Can you paint over enamel with latex?
you can paint over latex paint with latex enamel.
Can you paint enamel over latex?
Enamel is a word used to describe a finish, not the formulation of a paint. It simply means a hard reflective surface. Many people mistakenly use the word enamel when referring to oil based paints. So. if you are asking if you can paint latex or acrylic paint over a latex or acrylic enamel the answer is yes, however, I strongly recommend you sand the old paint first to give the top coat "tooth". If you are asking about painting latex or acrylic over an oil based paint the answer is still yes, however you must first sand the old paint and apply a good quality primer to it. Check with a reputable paint retailer for the best brand in your area.
Can you paint flat paint over an acrylic paint?
Do you realize that you can get FLAT ACRYLIC PAINT. Flat paint refers to the gloss level. You may want Gloss, Satin, Lowsheen or Flat. Acrylic paint on the other hand refers to what the paint is based on or what binder is being used. Acrylic paint is also refered to as waterbased paint. You most likely are referring to putting flat acrylic over lowsheen or gloss acrylic. In answer to your question - as long as they are both acrylic than you will not have any problems. I am in this answer assuming that you are referring you house paints. If not than the same principle applies - acrylic over acrylic is fine. To keep acrylic from going glossy just don't polish it.
Can you paint over epoxy paint with latex paint?
Yes, but it may not stay on very well. Besides, epoxy paints are very hard and wear resistant, while latex paints aren't. If the epoxy paint was needed the first time, repainting with something much less durable might not be such a wise move.
