• latex is the most common paint es[ecially in residential- verygood for this setting… You can use it on the exterior now as well

• Semi-gloss on the trim - wet area

• walls - not flat instead maybe eggshell

• latex paint is more water based

• in residential, oil is not used as much

• oil paint is good for covering stains

• New paints have a built in primer

• if youre repairing a wall, primer is a good idea

• fire res paint creates a foam when if gets hot. It expands to make the foam

• Anti-microbial paint goes ontop of the paint.. Its like a coating
