Sure it will cover but it will also peel off. Read the can or ask at the
paint store.

If you are not part of the solution, you are not dissolved in the solvent.

Actually it will NOT peel off.

Very rare for it to peel off.

I've never had it peel off. I don't see how the latex could tell the
difference. A clean , dry, hard surface is a clean, dry, hard surface.

Latex will peel if put on over enamel and the surface not prepared
correctly .. I've peeled off large sheets in fixing other folks' lousy
work. If put on over enamel, it should be sanded and primed first, IMO.
I never use latex on trim or doors because it is impossible to sand if
another paint job is needed.
