Best Answer

Denatured oil is oil that has been changed from the nature or natural qualities of it. It is rendered unfit to eat or drink without destroying usefulness in other applications, especially to add methanol to ethyl alcohol. The denaturing process creates a horrible odor, which is removed by additional heating of the oil at 300F.

If nothing transfers over, or it just cleans off the chalked paint on the surface, then it is most likely an oil based paint. If you don't have denatured alcohol, you can use Xylene; however, this could cause the oil based paint to crinkle.

How do you know if walls were painted with oil or water paint?

You can use denatured alcohol to check to see if latex paint is on the wall. Rub a rag moistened with denatured alcohol onto the surface. If the paint melts and is removed by the rag, you have latex. If it just cleans the area, then it is probably oil. It could also be epoxy or xylene based, but that is rarely done in a residential application other than flooring.
