No. Oil paint has organics in it that attract fungus and mildew. Use latex and add an additive that will help stop any growth.

What is the best type of auto body paint to use if I live in a hot and humid climate?
More importantly, if you live in a hot, humid climate you want to be diligent in protecting the paint on your vehicle. The lifespan of canuba wax is lessened when the weather is more hot and humid. Paint sealant is more durable than canuba wax, lasting up to six months, and is very easy to apply.

How can you get paint to stick to your cement when cement gets wet when humid?

Can you paint latex paint over oil base paint?
Answer Yes Latex Paint can be used over oil, but the oil paint must have been on your walls not less than 6 months depending on where you live, how humid it is and or how cold your walls are. I say humid because if the weather has been very humid the solvents in the oil paint may not have come out completely and there-fore there will be a reaction between the Oil Paint and the Latex Paint. If on the other hand your walls are cold all of the time the same thing will happen, the solvents in the Oil Paint won't come out and again using latex over Oil Paint won't work. The best method of using Latex Paint over Oil Paint is to wait a year at least. If the Oil Paint was shinny I would recommend that you sand it with fine sandpaper, to dull the shine, and then apply a coat of Latex sealer and then put your finish coats of paint. This method can be reversed and done exactly as written above, but at least a drying time of one year will get you the best results.

You should never burn wood with paint on it unless you know, specifically, what kind of paint it is, that the paint is question is safe to burn, and that there is no other chemical treatment on the wood.
