We will not get to know the first production stages in detail, since here everything depends on the individual wishes of the customer (and you can, in the end, watch the video master classes in which this problem is very clearly revealed). But on the question of selecting paint, it is worthwhile to dwell in more detail.
And so, the most critical stage of work is the selection of appropriate materials. On how not only beautiful, but also high-quality paints will largely depend on the further operation of the facility.
The most popular paints that can be used for woodwork, stone, etc.:
- Acrylic
- Oil.
- Latex.

The advantages, features of use and price of these materials are very diverse. Depending on what surface will be processed, how long it takes to dry the paint, and also what texture is planned to get in the end, you can choose the most optimal option.
Acrylic paints are the most popular, and this is not surprising, because they are easy to use, do not require long-term drying, do not spread out during operation and are perfectly connected to each other, forming wonderful transitions in tone. They are moisture resistant and are not afraid of wet cleaning in the house and damp weather. Suitable for woodwork.Ideal for using spot technology. Wash off with water solvents.
Oily - cheap and effective. Variations of color palettes are all kinds. One drawback is that they dry for a long time and at the same time emit an unpleasant odor. Not afraid of damp weather.
Latex - an excellent type of paint that can be safely applied directly to the wallpaper. After drying, they form a thin film that protects the surface of the picture from erasure and moisture.
Water-based - these paints are rightly called the safest and textured. They are easy to apply and do not require extra care. The only drawback is that they are applied only to pre-painted walls with glossy paint.
What colors of the above are best used in a living room? Acrylic and water-based emulsions are ideal, as for latex and oil, their use is possible only at the repair stage or in the case when it is possible to allow the material to dry completely after completion (the smell released during the drying process can be toxic to the body, especially dangerous if the house has children and pets).
