When you say rubber base paint I assume you mean latex paint. Yes, latex paint will adhere to an existing epoxy finish. However, the epoxy must already have cured. Meaning, it was already applied sometime in the past. A pretty good rule of thumb to go by when you're unsure if two finishes are compatible is to apply a coat of primer. Also, when latex paint is applied to a primed surface it will last that much longer, appear more uniform and will usually require only one coat of paint for proper coverage.

Can you use chlorinated rubber base paint over synthetic rubber base paint?
Absolutely not and you should use the same manufacturer of the paint you have on there also. Sorry you can only use a chlorinated rubber base paint on a rubber base paint. If you try to paint with the chlorinated rubber base on top of a synthetic rubber base paint it will probably peel like a bad sunburn.
How do you prepare the surface to use epoxy paint over a rubber-based paint on a gunite pool?
Swimming pool paint companies do not recomment mixing paint types rubber goes back on rubber or epoxy back on epoxy So if you want epoxy, sandblast off the rubber. BTW Silica sand is very toxic and best left to the pros, the paint ain't much to help out the health either. Take special care when painting, Kelly Tech is a good paint source good swimming getapool.com
Can you use epoxy paint over water base paint?
I wouldn't if it was my driveway. I'd power wash it off first then the driveway coatings would stick better.
Can you paint over epoxy paint that did not cure properly with additional epoxy paint?
I wouldn't. I would try to get the first one to cure somehow, possibly by warming that area.
Can you Paint over Latex Primer with Epoxy Primer?
Epoxy primer has to go over a bare surface otherwise it can act as a stripper, causing the base coat, along with the newly applied epoxy to delaminate or lift from the surface.
