- Acrylic and nitro combination paints are characterized in particular by faster drying times and harder surfaces. For this reason, such paints are predominantly used in the automotive sector.
- Synthetic resin paints (= alkyd resin) are easier to apply for "inexperienced sprayers" because the paint dries more slowly and therefore there are no visible transitions when the spray can is reapplied. This is particularly advantageous when painting larger surfaces (e.g. tabletops, cabinet fronts).
