Plastic paints, often referred to as acrylic or latex paints, use water as the main solvent. They are easy to apply, dry quickly, and clean up with soap and water. They are suitable for a wide range of surfaces and are known for being durable and low in odor.

Oil paints are made with oil, usually linseed, which makes them durable and gives a rich finish. They take longer to dry than water-based paints and need solvents like turpentine for cleanup. They are ideal for creating smooth, long-lasting finishes.
