Renovating your home? Here is a basic guide to the main types of paints available and where you would commonly use them.
For use around the home, paint is normally divided into two types – acrylic and enamel. The easiest way to remember the difference is acrylic paints wash up in water, and enamel requires turpentine for cleaning.
