I was under the impression that it was the other way around.  Oil primer can be coated with either but latex primer can only have a latex topcoat?  Fact is either way would probably work just fine but maybe someone can clarify.

BTW - changing the thread title to include what is in the thread will get you more replies.

What about Melamine paint?

no, definitely the way i said. however, in australia the most common types are oil or acrylic. not familiar with latex. so i guess i should have said ACRYLIC where i have said WATER-BASED since i'm guessing that latex is water-based?
