Can you paint latex paint over oil base paint?
Answer Yes Latex Paint can be used over oil, but the oil paint must have been on your walls not less than 6 months depending on where you live, how humid it is and or how cold your walls are. I say humid because if the weather has been very humid the solvents in the oil paint may not have come out completely and there-fore there will be a reaction between the Oil Paint and the Latex Paint. If on the other hand your walls are cold all of the time the same thing will happen, the solvents in the Oil Paint won't come out and again using latex over Oil Paint won't work. The best method of using Latex Paint over Oil Paint is to wait a year at least. If the Oil Paint was shinny I would recommend that you sand it with fine sandpaper, to dull the shine, and then apply a coat of Latex sealer and then put your finish coats of paint. This method can be reversed and done exactly as written above, but at least a drying time of one year will get you the best results.

Mixing clearcoat with paint, will ruin the paint.For enamel paints, make sure you use an enamel clearcoat. You should allow the paint to fully cure (at least a week) before attempting to apply the clearcoat. Never use a lacquer based clearcoat on an enamel based paint. It will ruin it.For lacquer based paint, you should only use a lacquer based clearcoat. The paint should be dry, but does not have to be fully cured, since the lacquer will wet the coat of paint below it anyway.
