Does anyone know if it possible to use Sn63/Pb37 paste on a board with Sn100 finish. Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.

This shouldn't give you any issues as long as you don't have to be RoHS compliant.

Careful on fine pitch QFPs. They will be your weakest joint if your parts are no-lead. And don't think you can simply run a no-lead profile either. Depending on your paste, you cannot simply run your profile in the no-lead temps and expect your flux to keep up. It will burn off early and leave you with a weak solder joints. Been there, done that, fun ride. Use a paste that has a flux designed to run in the hgigher temps, plus about 2% silver added in the mix will help a lot.
