If it is flat paint, you can apply the texture without any additional preparation. If it is a gloss or semigloss, you will need to rough up the surface with sandpaper first.
Yes, but you can not put latex over oil without a primer coat between.
No, you either need to really rough up the oil paint with fine sand paper, or put a base coat on before you paint with your Latex paint. If you don't your Latex paint won't adhere.
It should tell you on the can as every paint is different.
I have a clear coat and a coat of capture log home stain (Sashco) on my log home, I would like to paint over it with a latex paint, is this possible?
It will work over another latex paint, however it won't be as scrubable as a normal top coat, and it won't adhere as well as a paint over a primer. Better to apply the primer, then the paint. If the surface is clean and deglossed though, you really don't need a primer and can coat the surface with a quality wall paint.

yes u can use clear coat on ur enamel paint but first u hav to put primer then paint coats two - three coats depending on the requirements and then apply the clear coat single or double as required and most important thing is drying time shud be given in between each coats.
NO, latex paint does not adhere to oil. It wil go on, but the first time you brush up against it the top coat will start to crack and peel and just generally look terrible. If you wish to change the colour, a coat of oil paint is the thing.
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.
Primers are not water proofers, in fact primers can't be left as the finish coat because they have no durability. If the paint acts as a primer how can you expect the paint to stand up as a true finish coat.
You cannot paint over slightly tacky latex paint with a water based polycyclic finish. You should always wait until the latex paint is thoroughly dry before painting over it.
Paint coverage depends on the type of paint (acrylic, alkyd, enamel, latex, etc.), the texture and absorbency of the surface to be painted, and the type of application (brush, roller, or spray). A first coat of paint usually requires more paint than a second or third coat because it reduces absorbency by making the surface smoother. Most paint manufacturers specify coverage for their paint to be somewhere around 8.6 square meters per liter, so it would probably take about 1.5 liters to cover 12.15 meters with a single coat.
Latex primer is undoubtedly the quickest drying paint.
