Types of Oil Pain
In general, there are three types of oil paint, including glossy, semi-glossy, and matte oil paint. These colors are very different in appearance and place of use.
Glossy oil paint
Glossy oil paint, as its name suggests, is very shiny and reflects light; As a result, it is not very popular for wall painting. This type of paint is mostly used for frames or metal parts. The advantage of this model over other colors is that it is waterproof and anti-stain, which can be easily washed. Glossy oil paint will be highly moisture repellent after drying, that's why it is preferable to use this paint in humid areas with heavy vapors.Semi-glossy oil paint This type of paint is made with a combination of glossy and matte paint. How glossy or matte the color is depends on how much of each you use. Semi-glossy oil paint is also used to paint the wall and is considered a suitable option for painting the ceiling. This model can be washed like glossy oil paint, but it is more difficult to clean than oil models.
Matt oil paint Matte oil paint has a duller appearance than other types and shows less unevenness on the surfaces. Although matte oil paint has a more beautiful appearance than glossy models and makes the decoration classic and modern, it is more difficult to wash and shows stains and dirt more. As a result, it is not recommended at all for use on surfaces that require constant washing.
