Yes. Care must be given to preparing the surface with proper primer and the finish covered with a good quality water-based urethane. Never put a water-based paint or glaze on an alkyd surface. If you are unsure, swab the surface with rubbing alcohol, if it rubs off it is a water-based finish. Semi-gloss or gloss surfaces either alkyd or water-based latex paint must have a light sanding before the faux finish begins.
