What is the difference between wood paint and alkyd paint?
Alkyd paint has a resin in it to help the oil in the paint dry faster, oil based paint in my opinion has a more vibrant colors, both in depth an brightness, waterbased seems to be toned down some-what. Wood paint can be either water based or oil based and even water soluble oil based. Oil based alkyd paint lately are used for things or areas that might receive abuse, and because of the slower drying time the oil based alkyd paint will show less brush marks then water based paint.
How do you paint with alkyd?
In the past oil paints referred to either petroleum based paints or linseed based paints. Today in the USA petroleum based paints are no longer sold and it is difficult to find linseed based paints though they do exist with a small proportion of linseed oil. Alkyd paints are made with synthetic oil and are readily available and have come to be known as "oil" paint.

How do you apply alkyd paint to ceramic tile?
First, clean the tile and grout with a harsh cleanser such as T.S.P. Next, apply a bonding primer to the tile with a brush or roller. It can be oil-based or water-based, and you can thin it slightly if needed to get a smooth, even coating. Once the primer is dry, apply your alkyd (oil-based) paint over the primer with brush or roller.
