Acrylic is not water soluble once dry. Watercolor can be reactivated with water.


Dilute a small amount of paint in the normal manner for painting and make a brush stroke on a piece of scrap paper. Wash out your brush. Let the paint stroke dry for 20 minutes and then try to re-wet it with a brush full of water. If it re-wets and smears, it's watercolor. If it remains untouched, it's acrylic.

What is the best exterior paint?

If you have an old house, use flat paint. It hides the imperfections. If you have a newer house, then use semi-gloss or gloss.A:Exterior paints come with a whole lot of finishes and the one you choose should depend mainly on the surface you're painting and the durability desired. For example, a flat or matte finish is ideal for sidings and is great for hiding blemishes. If the surface you're painting needs frequent cleaning such as doors, then higher gloss finish exterior paints may be more appropriate.
