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".

Check with a reputable paint retailer for the best brand in your area.

If the Enamel is an original baked finish there should be no problem. Many DIY touch up paints are made from Acrylic Lacquer.

Enamel paints become hard on the surface but stay soft underneath if not baked to harden them. The lacquer is able to penetrate this outer layer and react with the enamel paint.
