Yes you can. As long as the enamel is a latex, or water base also. The only thing enamel stands for is the hardness of the paint after it has cured. Enamel is very hard making it the most durable for bathrooms, woodwork, kitchens. It can be either oil based or water based (latex stands for water based paint).

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.

Of the two paints you are going to try mixing, a water based paint (latex), with a spirit based (possibly methalated) . Not a good idea as they will separate. DO NOT MIX! On the containers for these paints you will be told how to wash your brushes ie.. Water for Latex. Turpintine, or Varsol for the Oil based paints and stains. Again, Oil and Water do NOT MIX!!!

When recommending paint rollers how should you determine the appropriate length of the nap on the roller?
I use he shortest nap only for enamel paints on very smooth walls or cabinets. (ie bathroom or kitchen gloss surfaces) The next longer nap size is most commonly used almost universally with enamel, alkyd or latex paints on many wall surfaces or smooth ceilings. The longest nap is only used on rough or textured ceiling with latex paints..
