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.
