Can you use enamel over latex?

Do you mean oil based enamel, or alkyd enamel? It can, but you will have to prime it with a barrier coat of compatible primer for the new paint to stick to it. I would not recommend it though. If the latex paint has been around for a long time, you have a better chance of having your new paint last. Is this inside or outside? Is it exposed to temperature extremes? The latex paint will be able to expand and contract more than the oil based enamel. If you can imagine putting paint on a latex glove, letting it dry, then putting the glove on (stretching it) then you will have a good idea (although much more extreme) of what you are asking the paint to do. If you really must put an oil based enamel on top of latex. Use a good oil based enamel like Kilz or Zinnzer Bullseye before you paint it. After you put the barrier coat on, you will have a limited time to get the other paint on....check the directions.
