Also, the sheen of most oil-based paints project is much greater even without a topcoat.
  • Latex Wood Paint: As you might have noticed, working with latex wood paint is much simpler than working with oil-based paints. Convenience is accompanied by diminished durability and an increased likelihood of evident brushstrokes in your final product. 
  •  Water-Based Paints: One of the easiest to apply paint is water-based paint sold in huge boxes in stores. For using water-based wood paint, you do not need to prepare the wood before the application of the paint; such paints also tend to dry up quickly, and they do not show any prominent cracks or the fading of the color. Such wood paints usually have milk paint or chalk paint incorporated into them.
