House paints are typically water-based acrylics that dry in 1-2 hours and clean up with soap and water. This is the type of paint most people think about when they hear the word “paint.” It comes in an interior or exterior version and normally has a few different sheen choices.Industrial paints cover a wide range of types and differ based on their specific use. They are typically designed for a specific need. For example, a 2K urethane is a super tough product that can be used inside or outside and is designed for durability, chemical and abrasion resistance. Acrylic Enamel is designed for painting fixtures and equipment and works great for OEM and touch up applications because it dries so fast. This paint is durable and sticks well to most surfaces. Oftentimes, industrial paints are solvent-based and require certain solvents for reducing and cleaning up.
