If I understand you correctly, you want to know if you can cover a latex paint covering with an oil based covering? the answer is yes. need to prime? only if you think the walls need priming. Rule is: oil over latex, not latex over oil without proper prep- alkyld primer or similar

∙ 12y agoNo, I wouldn't advise it. Oil based paint and acrylics don't really attach to each other(chemically). In art painting it is done, (waterbased acrylic gesso, oil paint over it) but I was told by a museal expert that these paintings won't last longer than 30 to 50 years.
In house paint, I did use it (on expert's advice) the other way around (oil based primer, waterbased acrylic over it). Oil based primer is stronger than acrylic based primer, and the primer can absorb the acrylics to some extent. the acrylic is the 'weaker' paint and it will allow itself to be carried. But the other way around I really wouldn't try.

When painting---will oil go over water base or water base over oil?
Water and oil do not mix. You will need an excellent quality primer specifically designed for this purpose. Answer: A good rule of thumb is never say no to a primer, but once the latex paint has dried, all the water is evaporated out of it. As long as the surface is clean, you can go over latex paint with oil without using a primer. If you do want to use a primer, use an oil based primer prior to topcoat.
