When the time comes to do some painting around the house there is more to take into consideration than color. Specifically, oil-based or water-based latex paint? And what sheen is appropriate? These are the questions to ask when choosing the right paint type for an interior or exterior painting project. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.
The Pros and Cons of Oil-Based Paint
One of oil-based paint's advantages is superior adhesion. When is this important? For one example, when painting over a chalky surface. Chalk is that powdery substance that comes off when a hand is wiped across the surface of the paint.
Oil-based paint is also a good choice when painting a surface that already has several layers of oil-based paint on it. In fact, latex should not be used in this case.
