For painting plywood, water-based paints, such as acrylic or latex, are generally recommended due to their ease of use, quick drying time, and lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They adhere well to plywood and provide good flexibility, reducing the risk of cracking over time. Oil-based paints can also be used for a durable finish but require longer drying times and more complex cleanup. Ultimately, the choice may depend on the specific project requirements and desired finish.
