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.
