Can you? Yes.

Should you? Not unless you like a finish that has the consistency of clam chowder.

House paint = Latex
Automotive paint = acrylic or urethane

Different base paints are NOT COMPATIBLE.
Youll end up like painting it with shrink paint that will not dry!

Well, you can try if you really insist. Then post some pics!
