In the normal hardware store you will usually find two types of paint: Acrylic paints and synthetic resin paints. In the case of acrylic paints, the main components are, the color pigments, dissolved in water. On the one hand, this leads to, that these paints dry very quickly and do not allow any perceptible solvent vapors to escape, on the other hand, the paint flow and the hardness of the paint surface still leave something to be desired. In order to get a reasonably opaque paint surface, you need to apply acrylic paints to the avenue in at least three passes.
For surfaces that are not subject to much wear and for children's room furniture, however, acrylic paint is always sufficient and harmless to health, although

Synthetic resin pocket alkyd resin) -lacquers run much better when lacquered than ‘ Acryllacke, which is why a maximum of two coats of it is sufficient. The paint surface is harder and less sensitive, but fades over time, when not exposed to sunlight. Synthetic resin paints are preferable for heavily used surfaces. by the way: Their solvents do not evaporate completely at once, but over a longer period of time, which can lead to health problems. Some manufacturers (Beautiful living colour) offer aromatic-free synthetic resin paints, where the solvent white spirit has been replaced with odorless and less harmful isoparaffin. Choosing the degree of gloss of varnishes Matt, Seidenmatt, Glossy and high-gloss is ultimately a matter of taste, however, scratches are easier to see on high-gloss surfaces than on matte ones. Incidentally, matt or semi-matt paints are slightly more expensive on average, because k matting agents have to be added to them. The term colored paint, which is often encountered, characterizes all colored paints, also white! It makes no statement about the solvent used.
