The base paint that is used on a house interior and exterior walls is called primer. Primer comes in white or gray, with white being the more popular. Primer allows the outer coats of paint to stick to the wall more easily and cover up discolored blemishes.

Can you paint acrylic enamel paint over base coat paint?

If the base coat used in your project is water base then yes, you bet you can. If there is any chance that the base coat used was an oil base paint then you cannot paint directly over it. The acrylic enamel will not adhere to the oil base paint and will begin to peel off as soon as it is dry. In which case a coat of primer is in order.
