Oil-based paints use oil as a binder, while latex-based paints use water. Oil-based paints are more durable and provide a smoother finish, but they take longer to dry and have a strong odor. Latex-based paints dry faster, are easier to clean up with water, and have less odor, but may not be as durable as oil-based paints.
What is the difference between water based and oil based interior white paint?
Regardless of the color, oil-based paints use solvent, normally mineral spirits, as a solvent Vs. water for water-based and oil-based paints dry harder than latex paints making them more scrubable. Water-based paints don't yellow or crack as they age and can be formulated to dry fairly hard while still retaining some elasticity. Both oil and water-based white paints should cover to opacity in a single coat.
