What are the advantages of oil paint vs. acrylic paint for interior woodwork?
In the satin and gloss finishes which are commonly used on woodwork, oil enamels traditionally exhibited a richness, touch and leveling ability which was unmatched by waterborne paints. However, with the introduction of Eco, many professional painters and designers believe they have discovered an odorless, waterborne alkyd which can be used interchangeably with traditional Hollandlac oil enamels. Upon visual and tactile examination an Eco finish is indistinguishable from a traditional Hollandlac enamel finish.
