Oil vs Waterbased Trim paints | Painter/decorator in Glamorgan

First off, I think we should look at the oil based advantages/disadvantages.

Oil based paint

For

  • High sheen
  • Good flow and level
  • Durability

Against

  • Harmful voc (chemicals)
  • White spirit clean up
  • Drying times
  • Odour
  • Yellowing in a short space of time

And now on to the advantages of water based paint.

  • Vastly reduced odours
  • Less voc`s (can even get waterbased with no harmful chemicals)
  • Easy clean up
  • Drying times (enabling to finish some jobs within the day)
  • White will not yellow over time
