The Glittering BEAUTY

Cover up Enamel paints are any that are hard, washable and usually glossy. They can be oil-based or alkyd-based, which dry slower and harder than water-based enamels. Oil-based paints have a strong solvent odor, and all cleanups are done with paint thinner or mineral spirits. Water-based (also called latex or acrylic) paints are easier to use, dry faster and have a fairly low odor. Cover up Enamels may also be urethane or polyurethane, in either water or a solvent base. Enamels typically come in several sheens, from eggshell or low-luster to satin. Specialized enamels, often faster-drying, are used for painting appliances and flooring.
