If the primer and paint are the samebrand, and are recommended to be used together. yes. no problems will occur.
primer coats are generally thinner (lower viscosity) and simply are used to provide adhesion to top coats, so unless you are simply using the primer as an expander, i dont see the point.... but yes is the answer

Where can you get acrylic paint from?
Acrylic paint is a fast drying paint containing pigment. It is safe to dilute it with water, but will become water resistant after drying. A common interior house paint may contain both acrylic and latex paint, because acrylic paint is typically more expensive.

Open the windows, air out the room, cover the primer with paint, and wash all fabrics. The smell will eventually disappear on its own with time.
What is the difference between a light base and regular latex paint?
The primary difference between Deep-Base and Medium-Base paint is the amount of room there is can to allow for tint to be added into. Example, most paint companys allow for 12-14 ounces of colorant for a Deep-Base and 8-12 ounces of colorant for a Medium-Base. When painting with deep base colors such there is a slightly different application approach to take than when working with lighter colors. This is because the tint base used for these colors lacks white pigment (titanium dioxide). Titanium dioxide is what gives a paint hide and coverage; without white pigment the paint must be built up or layered with multiple coats. Deep base colors can take 3 or more coats for full coverage. In addition to this, many deep base colors also require a tinted primer in order to help with hide and coverage.

It would more than likely peel in sheets once cured. You can however begin with an acrylic/latex primer and then paint it again with an acrylic/latex paint. Sanding the oil coating will aid in adhesion, and wiping down with a degreaser is sometimes necessary in kitchens, or nicotine polluted rooms. Or any room with condensation issues.

Any paint and decorating store should have little pads (like wet-wipes) that you rub onto the painted surface. Whether or not the paint rubs off will tell you what kind of paint was originally used.
