The first thing you should know when choosing interior and wall paint for your house, is that there are two basic paints you should choose from: Water-based and oil-based paints. 100% Acrylic latex (water-based) paints are used for exterior painting and ideal if you want to paint the outside walls of your house. Latex provides a pliable finish that is reliable for exterior use.

If you want to paint the interior walls of your house, as is the case in this article, you’ll have to choose latex paint (oil-based paint).
