What is the difference between wood paint and alkyd paint?
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.

Difference between acrylic latex and alkyd paint?
Acrylic latex paint is water-based and dries quickly to a flexible finish, making it ideal for interior and exterior surfaces. Alkyd paint is oil-based and has a longer drying time, providing a durable finish that is resistant to wear and tear. Each type of paint has different properties and uses, so it's important to choose the one that best suits your project.
What is an alkyd?
Alkyd is used to create paints that will dry extremely hard and will resist multiple cleanings. Normally, alkyd paints are oil-based, but there are now water based varieties. You can find alkyd paints on doors and trim both inside and outside houses.
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.
