Is an alkyd paint the same as an oil paint?
Yes.
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.
The most common solvent used today for thinning alkyd paint is?
The solvents used to thin alkyd paint can vary as much as the painters do. However, most references point towards using regular paint thinners such as lacquer thinner. However, usually more than 10% is needed. ChaCha on!
Which one is costly alkyd paint or enamel paint?

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.
Can you use latex paint over melamine paint?

How do you apply alkyd paint to ceramic tile?
First, clean the tile and grout with a harsh cleanser such as T.S.P. Next, apply a bonding primer to the tile with a brush or roller. It can be oil-based or water-based, and you can thin it slightly if needed to get a smooth, even coating. Once the primer is dry, apply your alkyd (oil-based) paint over the primer with brush or roller.
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.
What are the ingredients for satin paint?
There are different kinds of satin paint - you'd have to know if it was latex, oil, enamel, alkyd etc.
How do you test if a paint is alkyd or latex?
Acetone is usually used to test if a paint is alkyd or latex, though rubbing alcohol will work as well. Use a Q-tip soaked in either acetone or rubbing alcohol on a surface painted by the paint. If it comes off, it's latex.
