The short answer is NO, water based paints do not adhere to oil base paints.
However if you are willing to lightly sand the oil base paint, and apply an oil based primer, you can then use water based paint as a top coat.

∙ 12y agoyes. oil over latex. But if you want to do the reverse, you must either use oil primer first, then latex finish, or use a "liquid sander"... which more or less breaks down the oil paint, allowing the latex to bond better... still not as good as oil primer, but if you sand with sand paper first and then use liquid sander (follow instructions- only use it on the amount of surface you can paint in 30 minutes. Once it's totally evaporated from the old painted surface, the old paint is no longer soft/broken down to bond to the latex, so... you have to re-wipe it).

∙ 14y agoA lot of artists did that in the last decades.
But it's probably not durable. It holds at first, but maybe no longer than a few years.
Try adding caseine to the acrylic paint, that will help somewhat. Or take a different underpainting material (like egg-tempera)

∙ 12y agoNo, it will peel off in no time. The other way around is more safe, though that won't hold for decades either (unless you add caseine to the acrylic paint). This only applies to canvas painting)

Will enamel paint go over acrylic paint?

Do you need a special product to cover eggshell before painting over it with flat paint?
Egg shells (used in many craft projects) are quite porous, and will give your paint an excellent ground. Remember however a flat paint will not be very durable (it should not be washed or cleaned) so consider a clear top coat in what ever gloss factor you like. If however if you are asking about the paint finish called eggshell (one having the ability to be gently washed) then it will depend on the age of the "eggshell" paint, the composition of the two (eggshell & flat) paints and the colour of the "eggshell". If the "eggshell" is older than a year, latex or acrylic based and a light colour, then a good washing with TSP or some other gloss remover, and going over it with one or two coats of a good quality flat latex, oil or acrylic paint should do the trick. Oil paint can be directly applied over latex, acrylic or oil... Latex can be directly applied over latex or acrylic but not oil... Acrylic can be directly applied over latex or acrylic but not over oil. If the "eggshell" is less than a year old, oil based or a deep colour, then a good quality primer coat will make the job go much smoother. (Note- use an oil based primer if the "eggshell" is oil based, you can then top coat with any paint formula)

Can 100 percent acrylic paint be used to paint over latex paint?
100% acrylic paint can definitely go over latex. Acrylic paint actually is the same thing as latex paint. Some manufacturers differentiate their products as 100% acrylic and also have a product called latex that is made of acrylic plus co binders and other additives. So while one is 100% acrylic and the other is a mixture they are both water based and considered latex.

You don't. It will peel off. There is a special paint for glass. Go to the craft store and find the paint for glass. In the 1930's there was an art form called reverse glass painting that you may want to learn about. This is still done in movies for special effects.
