There are two basic types of exterior paint to choose from: oil-based and the more commonly used latex.

Oil-based paints are very durable and water-resistant. They result in hard finish and are often used by professional painters. Choose an oil-based if the surface you are painting has already been painted with oil-based paint.



Latex exterior paints have undergone many improvements, and some can be as durable as oil-based exterior paints. They are also considerably easier to work with. Select an exterior latex for use on the outside of your home, not the same latex used on interior walls.

Tip: Here is how to determine whether you have acrylic or oil-based paint on your home now. Peel off a large paint-chip. If the chip bends slightly before cracking, it’s probably latex. Oil-paint chips tend to snap easily. Always get your previous paint assessed by a professional.

Latex is easy to apply, dries quickly, is durable and is resistant to the effects of direct sunlight. Cleanup is easy, and just requires water. Acrylic latex is the highest-quality latex paint. It will cover just about any building material including masonry and properly primed metal.
