Usually it can be, especially if both come from the same manufacturer.
can i mix latex with enamel paint?I'm going to try it because of the definitions below. found at http://www.ehow.com/about_5104253_latex-enamel-paint.htmlLatex PaintLatex is, simply put, rubber. Whether natural or man-made, latex is the term used to refer to it. Latex paint is paint made with rubber mixed in as the binding agent which, when dry, holds the paint together.Enamel PaintThe term enamel when used to describe paint refers to any kind of paint that is hard and glossy once it has dried. The easiest way to think of this is to think of the enamel that's found on the outermost layer of human teeth.CombinationWhen these two attributes are combined, latex enamel paint brings the best of both worlds to the home. The latex bonding in the paint means that paint will dry quicker, is easy to use, and lacks much of the odor associated with older styles of paint. The enamel quality means that the paint will be hard, able to be scrubbed clean and will boast a shiny gloss.
A primers is basically used to seal a surface and give the top coat "tooth". A primer should be chosen for the surface it is going on, oil based primers adhere better to surfaces like bare wood, slick finishes, and old oil based paint. Once the primer has dried any kind or paint may be applied as a top coat.
Yes, enamel paints can be mixed.
If both paints are the same base (IE latex is a water base, enamel is an oil base, etc.), they can be mixed. However, that doesn't mean it is a good idea. Paints may contain chemicals that don't react well with one another and produce unwanted finish effects or discoloration. Polyurethane is NOT a paint! It is a seal that is designed to protect a paint or stain finish. There are specially designed poly paints, but it is not advisable to try to homebrew one. There are also poly stains if that is what you are looking for. To increase the life of your painted finish, always clean the surface well prior to finishing. Use a good latex primer and allow it to dry thoroughly. Use two layers of paint and allow thorough drying between layers. A seal is usually not necessary on wood trim (exterior paint is designed to seal the wood) unless staining the wood. Bright white paint is going to be hard to keep intact from the wear and tear of outdoor conditions. Make sure to keep the surface clean to minimize discoloration!
Since they are all waterbased paints, yes.

I've done it without any ill effects. It just dulls the semi-gloss a little.
Wash it in grape juice mixed with spaghetti sauce
Yes, enamel paints can be mixed.
You sure can, as long as both products are latex based or both are oil based, etc... The mixed result will also have a different sheen than both of the originals, so make sure that you have enough left over for touch ups later.
They make them all shiny and sparkly when they are ground up and mixed with lip gloss.
A balloon is typically made from latex, which is a type of rubber. The latex is usually mixed with additives such as accelerators, antioxidants, and pigments to give the balloon its desired properties such as elasticity, color, and durability.

Exterior paint is subject to so many harsh conditions, including pollution, weather and the expansion and contraction of the building, that it should be the best the homeowner can afford. Epoxy paint has great holding power, but it's too expensive to paint the entire exterior of a house. A cement based paint will do the job, but it comes in powder form and has to be mixed with water. It can only be used on unpainted masonry, which has to be hosed down before the paint is applied. Latex paints are very good in tolerating the alkali that comes from brick or masonry, and it's less expensive than epoxy. The best way to apply paint to an exterior is with a good, sturdy set of paintbrushes. Rollers and spray guns simply won't do the job as well.
latex from rubber trees is mixed with sulfur during vulcanization process
You probably could with crushed up plants or plant oil mixed with petroleum jelly or vaseline.
