Having some new sash windows being put in - the fitter is priming them
with an acrylic primer. Never heard of this paint which drys very fast
- hence the interest.

I'm interested if it exists; an equivalent Acrylic top coat similar in
ware and durabilty to gloss.

I will paint the rest of the windows - exposed wood in undercoat &
gloss. But would like to use a quick drying paint to paint the box
frame where the slash windows slide so the window can be closed
a.s.a.p. Must be completely dry before I slide windows over freshly
painted wood. Gloss takes 16hrs for this


I am considering using white acrylic eggshell for interior doors and
staircase.
Are there any advantages or disadvantages over an oil based eggshell
paint?


I heard somewhere that within a few years all paint will be water based,
even the likes of hammerite.
