Not sure where to start with choosing the right paint color or sheen?
Acrylic vs. Latex
The most popular paint choices for projects at home are acrylic and latex paints.
Acrylic Paint is a chemically composed, fast-drying option that becomes water-resistant when dry. This makes acrylic paint and acrylic primer exceptional choices for trim work outdoors — as this paint expands and contracts better than latex.
Alternately, latex paint is a water-based and extremely popular option for painting large areas, thanks to its slower drying speed. This means it blends easily with itself and doesn’t produce harsh lines between dry and wet paint.
