What is the difference between alkyd latex and waterborne alkyd?
Traditionally, alkyds are found in solvent-based paints that must be reduced with paint thinner or mineral spirits. "Waterborne alkyd" is a generic term to refer to an alkyd resin that can be used in a water-thinnable paint. Because alkyds are not miscible with water, a chemical modification is sometimes used to produce a hybrid alkyd resin - often acrylic/alkyd or urethane/alkyd - that is compatible with water. These hybrids are often categorized generically under the term waterborne alkyds. A pure alkyd can be emulsified in water using appropriate surfactant combinations. This type of surfactant-stabilized alkyd emulsion has been sometimes referred to as an "alkyd latex." Different resin manufacturers use varying terminology to describe waterborne alkyds with the terms alkyd emulsion, alkyd dispersion, and alkyd latex being among the most common.
Can you paint alkyd paint over oil paint?
What they call "oil base paint" is really called "alkyd base paint." So yes, you can do that.
Can you spray paint with dulax solvent based paint if you put it in a apray painting device?
Yes, you can spray a solvent based paint in just about any type of sprayer. You'll want read the instructions on the can, or ask your paint professional which solvent to use for thinning and cleaning.

Can you paint over latex paint with alkyd lacquer paint that is for concrete floors?
I wouldn't recommend it. Some of the chemicals in the alkyd will dissolve the latex and the alkyd won't "stick". It's best to remove the latex using laquer thinner or xylene first.
How do you thin out alkyd paint?
To thin alkyd paint, you can use mineral spirits or paint thinner. Start by adding a small amount of the solvent to the paint and mix thoroughly. Gradually increase the amount until you reach the desired consistency, but avoid over-thinning, as it can affect the paint's coverage and durability. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for specific thinning recommendations.
What is the same as mineral spirits in terms of solvent options for cleaning and thinning paint?
The same as mineral spirits for cleaning and thinning paint is turpentine.

How determine alkyd or acrylic?
To determine whether a paint is alkyd or acrylic, check the label for specific terms; alkyd paints typically indicate they are oil-based, while acrylic paints are water-based. Additionally, you can perform a simple solvent test: apply a small amount of mineral spirits to a cotton swab and rub it on the paint; if it softens or dissolves, it’s likely alkyd. Conversely, if it remains unaffected, it’s likely acrylic. Lastly, the drying time can also be a clue; alkyd paints generally take longer to dry than acrylics.
What is alkyd enamel?
Alkyd enamel is a type of paint made from modified alkyd resins, which are synthetic polymers derived from natural oils. It is known for its durability, excellent adhesion, and resistance to fading and moisture, making it ideal for both interior and exterior applications. Often used for coating surfaces such as wood, metal, and concrete, alkyd enamel provides a smooth, glossy finish that enhances aesthetic appeal. Additionally, it typically requires solvents for thinning and cleanup, as it is not water-based.
Which one is costly alkyd paint or enamel paint?
They can be the same cost. Depends on brand
Will water work for thinning oil paints?
Unfortunately combining oil and water in paint always results in disaster. Oil based paints must be thinned with solvent. Brushes used to paint oil based paints also need to be cleaned with solvent.
