Paints: better safe than sorry!

Choose water based paints (100 % acrylic latex) for the exterior. For the interior, use latex or oil-based paints. Latext paints dries fast, has fewer fumes and odors. Oil-based paints dry slowly but extremely durable. It has a strong, smelly fume unlike latex paint. For wood, use gloss, semi-gloss or high gloss paint to make them shiny.
