Painting questions, answered by experts

The best paint brand is subjective. Though you can peruse countless reviews and ratings to find that perfect can of paint, your ideal paint color, paint type, quality, ingredients, price, and more determine the best brand for your project.

The two most common paint types are latex-based paint and oil-based paint. Here are some of the most significant differences between the two:

Latex-based paint:

  • $15–$60 per gallon on average

  • Best for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways

  • Dries more quickly than oil-based paints

  • More difficult to clean compared to oil-based paint

Oil-based paint

  • $20–$70 per gallon on average

  • Good for bathrooms, kitchens, doors, and trim

  • Easy to clean and holds up well against moisture

  • More likely to chip than latex-based paint

  • Requires good ventilation while drying

You can use either paint thinner or mineral spirits to clean paint brushes, but both have distinct advantages. Paint thinners are better solvents, making them a good option if you need to clean your brushes quickly or if you are dealing with dried paint, which mineral spirits can’t remove. On the other hand, mineral spirits have less toxicity, less odor, and lower volatility. It is safer to use indoors and doesn’t evaporate as quickly if you need to leave the brushes to soak.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Technically, mineral spirits are a type of paint thinner, so they can be used for the same purposes. In most cases, pure mineral spirits are preferable to other paint thinners. Still, if necessary, you can successfully use paint thinners for most of the same applications, such as thinning or cleaning oil paints.
