Can you put oil paint over latex?
As long as you sand & prime first, in most cases just latex primer applied before painting with the latex paint. If the old paint is really old, be careful about sanding, it may contain lead.
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.

Can you use acyd paint over latex paint?
If you really want to ... yes. It might cause some issues later but should work for the most part as long as you apply a thin layer of paint. Acrylic house paint is normally a latex paint, so there should be no problem painting over a latex with acrylic. The only exception is if it is a solvent based acrylic silicone type paint. In this case, the coating will melt the latex paint, and if overworked while rolling, mix on the surface, which is normally a driveway or floor, discoloring the top coat.

Once the primer has dried any kind or paint may be applied as a top coat.
Iam going to do my first paint job on my truck using a 2 stage paint.How long do I have to wait after I shoot the last coat of clear before i can color sand and cut and buff it.?
theres no sanding when u do a 2 stage paint job,and ull have to wait about 2weeks tobuff the car if it was not baked under heat lamps u only bake if enamel modern paint does not require bake next question asked how long to wait after last clear coat before you color PAY ATTENTION the color coat goes on before the clear coat the clear coat is to protect and fill in any bumps in paint such as metal flake paint bottom line if you clear coat first ,you are wasting your money an your time you do not sand between color coat and clear coat sanding will take away the proper effect clear coat is to finish paint properly
Can you paint over semi gloss with a satin?
Yes as long as you use the same base paint. You just need to sand it enough to where the paint will adhere. Make sure if the original paint is latex, use latex. If its oil based, use oil based.
