so long as you are not painting over oil, then it should be fine.
That is the same as what I am going to use.

yes, precisely,
traditionally they don't like to stick to each other.

As a housepainter I have heard that apparantly with todays modern housepaints you can put oil over acrylic and acrylic over oil, but I still don't think it is a good idea.
