What Is The Difference Between Water and Oil Based Paint?Updated 7 days ago

Hi,

Water based paints are newer on the market, dry quicker, omit less odours, don’t yellow over time, are more user friendly, better for the environment and the brushes/ rollers are easier to clean. 

Oil/ solvent based paints are generally favoured by decorators who have been in the trade for a while as it’s tried and tested and they find they have a better appearance and can tolerate varying weather conditions better. 

I hope this helps, if you have any other questions please let us know ☺️
