What a nightmare you just encountered, huh? The latex is going to want to peel, and keep peeling. Short of sanding all the paint off that you just applied you can apply a coat of shellac (primer/sealer by Binzer) directly over the peeling latex paint. It dries very quickly and has an awful smell but it will take care of the peeling paint problem. I bet you will never paint over oil again.

Can latex paint be put over oil paint?
You need to prime first, with a primer that adheres to oil paints, and to which latex can adhere. You may even want to sand the oil-painted surface lightly to scuff it for better primer adhesion. Painting latex straight on top of oil paint will result in peeling.

Can you paint oil over latex that is painted over oil?
Hi there, Technically you can, but there may come a day where things starts to chip off. If you have the time, maybe it's better to take off the latex now. On the other hand, if the latex-over-oil was primed well (with shellac), it will hold, and painting oil over that will be OK too for at least 5 years. The oil will suck into the latex, and become matte and maybe blotchy. You can help it by either priming it first (shellac or oil-based primer), or shining it up with a laquer afterwards.
