The main issue here is prep of the oil based painted surface. Oil base paint is often in higher sheen levels which creates a slick surface. Sanding prior to painting latex over is always recomended. Also the use of a good oil based or bonding type primer, i dont mean the "paint and primer in one" i mean a primer made to be a primer. Your local paint store expert should be able to point you in the right direction. Nine times out of ten any problem can be prevented with proper surface prep this is the most critical step. Even if you sue an oil based primer you can still use latex paint on top. good luck

Can you put latex over oil base?

Water based paint such as latex and acrylic do not adhere well to oil paint. In order to paint over oil paint you must sand the surface and prime it with a good quality oil or alcohol based primer and then top coat with a water based paint. Oil based paints will adhere well to water based paints sp it is unnecessary to prime before top coating, unless you have had to do any repairs to the surface.
