What Kind of Paint to Use on Wood

Types of wood coatings

You may think of paint as paint, but the truth is that you can use several different types of paint in your wood project. Knowing more details about each type will help you choose the most suitable paint.

Oil paint

When you finish your project, many people choose oil-based paint because of its durability. You will find that after the paint dries, the oil will produce a smooth surface, depending on the type of paint you choose, giving you a good matte or gloss effect. Even better, most projects done with oil-based paint do not require an outer coating to achieve this gloss.

However, to enjoy this smooth surface effect, you must use a high-quality paint brush instead of a roller. Choose an oil that is specifically claimed to be used with oil, and you can get the best results through this temperamental paint selection. Make sure you also paint directly on bare wood or this type of primer, because the oil will not mix well with the latex underneath

water based paint

You can find that it's much easier to work with latex paint than oil-based paint. Of course, the ease of use translates to reduced durability and to greater instances of visible brush strokes in your finished product. Try mixing in a little Floetrol into your paint source to reduce the number of visible brush strokes.

There are several different types of paint, and knowing what kind of paint to use on wood can seem daunting at first. However, consider your wood project to inform your choice, and you’ll choose the type of paint that will withstand daily use and cleaning. Definitely, the best paint will give you the best results. With these tips, you’ll end up with a wooden project that is exactly what you were hoping to create.
