What to do when latex is painted over oil?
What a nightmare you just encountered, huh? The latex is going to want to peel, and keep peeling. Short of sanding all the paint off that you just applied you can apply a coat of shellac (primer/sealer by Binzer) directly over the peeling latex paint. It dries very quickly and has an awful smell but it will take care of the peeling paint problem. I bet you will never paint over oil again.
