Take a cotton ball with alcohol on it and rub the wall (or what ever) in a place that is inconspicuous; if paint comes off , its latex.

The easiest way to do that is try it with your thumb nail (not too hard)if it leaves a dent its latex if it is hard and doesn't dent its oil. I don't know about the rag with alcohol, oil paints degrade faster than the acrylics so it should leave a stain on the rag easier.

That really helps us to see what the walls are... latex or oil.. We just moved in the summer and not knowing whats on the wall.. Everyone should look into that before painting.
