I don't know... seriously.
But I think oil paint is more non-sticky and the texture is like oil unlike latex.
oil paint is usually more durable and can be washed to get stains off. oil paint takes a good 18 hours to really dry .the smell is not good for you and even worse is the paint thinner you use to clean up. if you should spill some on the rug you'll be high as a kite trying to get it off with paint thinner. latex needs to be repainted sooner than oil but that is really the only draw back to it. you can get odor free latex, it drys to the touch in an hour (cured in 12 hours) painting tools clean up with water if you spill some on a rug can be cleaned up if you see it as soon as it spills apples and Oranges I've used both.
