Alkyd paints (oil) paints
These are solvent-thinned paints. They apply well with a
brush or roller but need turpentine or mineral spirits for
clean-up. Sometimes preferred for areas where constant
cleaning is necessary, like kitchens and bathroom shower
areas. Very high gloss enamels are usually
solvent-thinned. Odor is stronger during application than
with latex paints, but disappears after a few days. |
