Now talking a bit about water based paint. It is a low easier to paint with this type because all the tools you use are washable with water.

It is the choice paint for walls and also for ceilings and for textured surfaces outside.

If you are painting any new surface it is best to use a primer.

Also by doing this it gives the paint something to stick to.

All the painting layers should be from the same manufacture in order to achieve better results.

Also you can use a water based primer for an oil based top coat but it is not a great idea to use a oil based primer for a water based paint.

The number of coats the you will need depends on how porous the surface is, and the thickness of the paint you are applying.

The overall quality of the paint has a big factor too.
