    Yes you can but you might have to do a little prep first. As long as you haven't sealed the chalk paint with wax or poly you can go right ahead and paint over the chalk paint. If you haven't sealed it, can act as a primer. However, if you have sealed it, I would recommend removing the wax/poly by sanding and/or using mineral spirits before you paint over the chalk paint. If you aren't able to remove all of the sealant, make sure to use a primer before painting with your latex paint. Hope that helps!

    I would lightly sand the existing paint and then do a test area with the latex applied over the chalk paint. Let it dry and wait a day or two to see what the result is.
