    Hi Bill,

    You can do it, but you need to prepare the oil paint by sanding it to rough it up, and then use a good binding primer such a BIN or Kilz before using the latex paint.

    NO . You must use a primer or use the new product from Home Depot called "Behr Paint & Primer in one " .

    Yes!

    You will need to light sand and prime 1st so the latex will stick.
