Alkyd paint is durable, provides a smooth finish, and dries quickly. It also offers good coverage and is resistant to stains and moisture, making it a great choice for interior painting projects.
Yes, an interior alkyd primer can be used to prime decoys.
Alkyd enamel paint is durable, provides a smooth finish, and is resistant to wear and tear. It also dries quickly and is easy to clean, making it a good choice for home renovation projects.
I wouldn't. I don't think they would have called it "interior paint " just for fun.
Primer made with alkyd base.
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.

Enamel paint is oil or alkyd. Alkyd paint is probably the most well known type of oil paint available on the market. The word alkyd actually refers to the synthetic resin used as a binder in the paint. This would be the oil in the paint, most commonly vegetable oil. Alkyd paints also come in a wide variety of finishes making it ideal for multiple different projects. Alkyd paint is very resistant to normal wear and tear. Thus, this type of paint is used commonly in "high traffic" type areas. This would include doors and trim within a home and also items that would need painting in the kitchen and bathroom such as cabinets. The alkyd paint will hold up to all the abuses that may come its way. Acrylic enamel is a water based full gloss usually for interior surfaces only. The gloss is nearly as high as gloss enamel but it is not quite as durable. One advantage is that if you are using white it does not discolor over time as much as alkyd based enamel. Also from a professional point i have never found the finish to be as good as enamel with less than three coats.
The paint that seems to work best with vinyl siding are ones that have a blend of urethane and acrylic resins. The most important thing to do when painting siding make sure your surface is clean and dry.
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.

RDCO stands for "Resin Ductility Control Oil" in Alkyd Resin. It refers to the oil component in alkyd resins that helps control the ductility or flexibility of the final product. This oil component plays a crucial role in determining the overall performance and characteristics of the alkyd resin, such as its drying time, hardness, and adhesion properties.
What they call "oil base paint" is really called "alkyd base paint." So yes, you can do that.
