Can you paint latex paint over oil base paint?
Answer Yes Latex Paint can be used over oil, but the oil paint must have been on your walls not less than 6 months depending on where you live, how humid it is and or how cold your walls are. I say humid because if the weather has been very humid the solvents in the oil paint may not have come out completely and there-fore there will be a reaction between the Oil Paint and the Latex Paint. If on the other hand your walls are cold all of the time the same thing will happen, the solvents in the Oil Paint won't come out and again using latex over Oil Paint won't work. The best method of using Latex Paint over Oil Paint is to wait a year at least. If the Oil Paint was shinny I would recommend that you sand it with fine sandpaper, to dull the shine, and then apply a coat of Latex sealer and then put your finish coats of paint. This method can be reversed and done exactly as written above, but at least a drying time of one year will get you the best results.

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. Some manufacturers differentiate their products as 100% acrylic and also have a product called latex that is made of acrylic plus co binders and other additives. So while one is 100% acrylic and the other is a mixture they are both water based and considered latex.
