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.

When do you use oil base primer?
At this piont, the only reason to use oil-based paints and primers is if you're painting over a surface that was previously painted with an oil-based paint - and don't want to remove all of the old paint. Latex paint will not adhere to oil paint. latex paint has fewer VOCs, much easier to clean, etc. Not completely true. Alkyd (oil) primers are still needed for bare plaster in older homes. I still use it for new wood (not composite) trim, too. Many alkyd primers are formulated to take latex topcoats and still provide superior leveling for a better finish with semi-gloss and gloss paints. Never, ever use alkyd primer on bare wallboard. It will ruin the face paper (the gray surface) on the wallboard.
Can you use latex paint for a wood fence?
What do you mean? Yes, paint on wood trim is typically latex these days. Some older homes may still have alkyd (oil), though. To find out for sure, put a little nail polish remover on a cotton swab and rub it on the paint in an inconspicuous location. It it gets soft and starts to come off, it's latex. Either way, sand it lightly and recoat with the same type of paint and you're good. If you're asking about bare wood, DON'T USE LATEX! The water will swell the grain of the wood. Use an oil primer that is made to take latex topcoats.
