The difference between Base 1X and Base 2X in Benjamin Moore is simply the amount of room in the can for tint. A Base 1X can only has room available for 4 ounces of tint, while the Base 2X has room available for 8 ounces of tint.
Oddly enough, the amount of room available does not increase consistently by 4. A Base 3X has 16 ounces of room available, and a Base 4X only has 13 ounces of room available. That may be because a color that uses a 3X base still needs a significant amount of white tint in order to achieve the desired hue, a 4X base will usually not need that.

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.

Can you paint acrylic enamel paint over base coat paint?
If the base coat used in your project is water base then yes, you bet you can. If there is any chance that the base coat used was an oil base paint then you cannot paint directly over it. The acrylic enamel will not adhere to the oil base paint and will begin to peel off as soon as it is dry. In which case a coat of primer is in order.
