Acrylic paints offer many possibilities during the painting work. It gives the closest rendering to the glycerol paints. If the painter knows his work, then he can give a very fine finishing with the help of acrylic paints.

Advantages of Glycerol paints.
- The glycerol paint offers a satin, matte, shiny and smooth unbeatable appearance. This type of painting offers a great covering and pacifying power so much appreciated by professional painters. From an aesthetic point of view, this is probably the best painting we can find. Its resistance to moisture explain why this paint is found in bathrooms. In addition, it is a washable paint, so if your wall is stained, you can clean it without the risk of removing the paint.
The long drying time of the oil paint is its main disadvantage. For house painters who work at the time, it is a torture to wait until 24 hours before passing another coat of paint. In addition, the glycerol emits a very strong smell that can even be uncomfortable for children and some adults. It is also extremely difficult to clean. After application, use white spirit to remove glycerol stains from clothing and brushes. Glycerol paint disappears little by little because of the dangerous nature of the solvents it contains. In addition to being harmful to the environment, glycerol paint causes solvent emissions that are dangerous for the health of users.

Lacquer paints
- Lacquer paints are the best for the durability. However, lacquer paints require lots of preparation. The surfaces must be very smooth, otherwise lacquer paints will not mask any defects of the walls and ceilings.
- Lacquer paints offer very high grinding fineness, presenting a finished, smooth and taut appearance. A lacquer can be shiny, satiny or even matte. A painting of good quality remains a question of work and careful preparation. Lacquer is often associated with a shiny, highly polished, mirror effect.
- The term lacquer actually covers only a formulation giving rise to a taut product, which can be shiny, but also offer a matte or satin appearance. A lacquer will stretch itself on drying for an extremely smooth and taut finish after drying.
The lacquering technique requires working in a room free of dust. The different layers can be passed with a spray gun. They must be sanded with sandpaper of small particle size in order to obtain a perfectly smooth surface. The superposition of paint layers, the abrasion attached to the work of the paint gun, allow a very neat film in the end.
Matte or Satin paints
