Of the two paints you are going to try mixing, a water based paint (latex), with a spirit based (possibly methalated) . Not a good idea as they will separate. DO NOT MIX! On the containers for these paints you will be told how to wash your brushes ie.. Water for Latex. Turpintine, or Varsol for the Oil based paints and stains. Again, Oil and Water do NOT MIX!!!

Can you paint flat paint over an acrylic paint?
Do you realize that you can get FLAT ACRYLIC PAINT. Flat paint refers to the gloss level. You may want Gloss, Satin, Lowsheen or Flat. Acrylic paint on the other hand refers to what the paint is based on or what binder is being used. Acrylic paint is also refered to as waterbased paint. You most likely are referring to putting flat acrylic over lowsheen or gloss acrylic. In answer to your question - as long as they are both acrylic than you will not have any problems. I am in this answer assuming that you are referring you house paints. If not than the same principle applies - acrylic over acrylic is fine. To keep acrylic from going glossy just don't polish it.

Can 100 percent acrylic paint be used to paint over latex paint?
100% acrylic paint can definitely go over latex. Acrylic paint actually is the same thing as latex paint.

So while one is 100% acrylic and the other is a mixture they are both water based and considered latex.
