Mixing latex paint with an epoxy water-based sealer is generally not recommended, as the two have different chemical compositions and may not blend well. The latex paint may not adhere properly or could affect the curing process of the sealer. If you need to color the sealer, it's best to use a compatible tint specifically designed for epoxy products. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for compatibility before mixing.
yes but not the other way around the latex passes moisture
Yes, but it may not stay on very well. Besides, epoxy paints are very hard and wear resistant, while latex paints aren't. If the epoxy paint was needed the first time, repainting with something much less durable might not be such a wise move.
You can definitely use latex paint over epoxy. In fact, it is recommended to use latex over epoxy by the paint manufacturers, rather than using epoxy over epoxy. The latex adheres better and if you then want to use epoxy next time you paint, you have a nice coat of latex between the layers. If you use epoxy over epoxy, often the paint will just peel off in layers once some time passes (and sometimes right away).
Any oil based chalky surface sealer should lock the calcimine down, providing a stable surface that will accept any latex ceiling paint.
You don't normally need sealer over epoxy, but the colour chips may be a reason to. I would check the can for comments on this.

You should not need a sealer over latex paint. If you sealed the paint, it eliminates the breathing it is designed to have thus compromising the paint, and may cause it to peel together with the sealer.

Yes you can.
Check the instructions or the technical data sheet for the product that you are using. Some water-based epoxies require a primer when refinishing a previously coated surface.

No, latex paint is water-based, not oil-based.
Yes, latex paint is water-based.
No, acrylic paint is not latex-based. Acrylic paint is made from a synthetic resin, while latex paint is made from a natural rubber latex.
Acrylic paint is water-based, not oil-based or latex-based.
