You can mix water into most latex paints up to a point. Usually eight ounces to a gallon. A better alternative is to add a latex paint additive, like Flotrol, that is made out of acrylic resin, that doesn't degrade the paint.

Pure Petrol could possibly be a solution. It really mostly depends on the material the hat is made from. What can you apply to dissolve "latex plastic" and not dissolve the fabrics in the hat. Pure water and soap would not work, as latex is water resistant. You could try a shop where they specialize in paint. They might have a trick up their sleeve.

I wouldn't recommend it. Some of the chemicals in the alkyd will dissolve the latex and the alkyd won't "stick". It's best to remove the latex using laquer thinner or xylene first.
