The choice between oil-based and water-based paint depends on the project's specific needs. Oil-based paint is more durable and provides a smoother finish, but it has a longer drying time and emits more fumes. Water-based paint dries faster, is easier to clean up, and has lower VOC emissions. Consider the project requirements and personal preferences before deciding which type of paint to use.

How do you prep walls that have been painted with a satin finish paint if you want to paint again with a satin finish paint?

The paint finish doesn't significantly change the surface preparation necessary. If the paint is the same type (water based going over waterbased or enamel over enamel) then the preparation is simply: * cleaning, * remove loose material, * fill any holes or hollows, * sanding and * wiping, If you are changing the type of paint (eg: painting waterbased over enamel) you may need to use an etch primer to "key" the surface and give the new paint a texture to grip onto after sanding, and otherwise prepare as above.
