Can you use latex paint over an epoxy painted wall. and what steps are needed?
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).
What kind of paint should you use on fiberglass pool stairs?

Can you use oil base polyurethane over latex paint?
Yes, you can use latex paint over poly but you have a few steps to do before you can apply it. First, whether the poly is oil or water based, you'll want to sand it to give it a tooth (something to grab onto). Make sure to wear a mask and goggles. Next, prime the surface you want to paint. You can fill any hole or fix imperfections over the primer but you'll have to prime those areas again if you do. After you're priming is done, you can roll out your paint. Quick note: if the poly is oil-based, I would use an oil based primer (Zinsser"s bin 1-2-3 oderless oil primer, white can with yellow flag on it). You can roll latex over this primer.

How to get dried latex paint out of suede?
Getting latex paint out of clothes Ammonia will get latex paint out of anything. It actually dissolves it so soaking would be in order if it has been dried on for some time. Scrub it ever so often to help the ammonia along. Do it in a well ventilated area as the ammonia gives off fumes. Be aware of what you are soaking as ammonia can also dissolve some glues as well. Luckily, it is possible to remove the paint, even if you don't find the stain until it has dried. Paint is either oil-based or water-based (latex), so the steps for removing the stain differ, depending on which type of paint has stained the fabric.
