What are the different types of paint and how are they used?

Paint is either water-based or oil-based. For a better-looking and long-lasting finish, oil-based paints are used because they are more durable than water-based paints. This is why they are used on exteriors, floors, furniture, doors, etc. On the other hand, water-based paint is great for things or areas that will not see a lot of wear and tear such as ceilings and walls.
