Can you paint over epoxy paint with latex paint?

In: Painting and Staining [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes, but it may not stay on very well. Besides, epoxy paints are very hard and wear resistant, while latex paints aren't. If the epoxy paint was needed the first time, repainting with something much less durable might not be such a wise move.
