Can you paint over epoxy paint with latex paint?

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.


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).


Is latex paint and acrylic paint the same?

no


Can you mix latex paint with an epoxy water based sealer?

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.


Can you use rubber base over epoxy base paint?

When you say rubber base paint I assume you mean latex paint. Yes, latex paint will adhere to an existing epoxy finish. However, the epoxy must already have cured. Meaning, it was already applied sometime in the past. A pretty good rule of thumb to go by when you're unsure if two finishes are compatible is to apply a coat of primer. Also, when latex paint is applied to a primed surface it will last that much longer, appear more uniform and will usually require only one coat of paint for proper coverage.
