Yes-I recently used some latex paint in a riding mower tire on a small utility trailer. The tire is extremely old and dryrotted, and would not hold air more than 10 minutes. I was building a homemade lawn vac, and wanted to keep cost to a minimum. I started to buy some slime, but tried to think of cheaper alternative. I broke the tire down on one side and poured about half of a quart of paint in. I sprayed undercoating on the bead for bead sealer, and shot the air to it. You could see it oozing from all the cracks, and with drying taking just a couple of minutes. It has been holding for 3 weeks now. It may never come apart again, but I just wanted to get through my fall leaf removal. While I wouldn't do it to a good tire, or anything that would be used on the highway- you can bet I'll be doing it on more old stuff!

Latex paint will go over WD40 but will not adhere. I work at paint stores and we spray our mixing tables with WD40 so that the paint cans will slide easily and any spilled or splashed paint will peel off if dried.
Can you use a latex primer under enamel paint?
Latex paint can be used as a primer but the results may not be what you want. Primer is less expensive than latex paint and has special qualities that create a seal and help the finish layer of paint adhere better. In the long run you will save time and money by using the correct product for the job.
Can you use acyd paint over latex paint?
If you really want to ... yes. It might cause some issues later but should work for the most part as long as you apply a thin layer of paint. Acrylic house paint is normally a latex paint, so there should be no problem painting over a latex with acrylic. The only exception is if it is a solvent based acrylic silicone type paint. In this case, the coating will melt the latex paint, and if overworked while rolling, mix on the surface, which is normally a driveway or floor, discoloring the top coat.
Can you add shimmer to latex paint?

Can flat paint be painted over latex satin wall paint?
Yes, you can generally paint high gloss latex over flat latex paint. But you must do all the preparation work in the best tradition of any professional painter. All "flaking" must be removed and the raw wood primed. This will present a "smooth" surface for the new coating. Additionally, everything that is to be painted my be scrupulously clean and free of anything that will restrict the new latex from sticking to the old.
