There is an easy way to determine whether oil based or latex paint was used.

Use denatured alcohol on a rag. Rub a spot vigorously and if you are able to remove some of the paint that is proof that the paint is latex. The alcohol is available at any paint or hardware store.

Accurate and easy. Hope this helps.
