In America it is quite common to use latex paint on the interiors and
exteriors of houses. It is thinned with ordinary water, so it's a
do-it-yourself project to paint your own house with it. We don't strip
the old paint off, just paint a new color over the old. It's available
in any color you want, but the most common are light pastels. It's
quite inexpensive unless you want the 'designer' brands like Ralph
Lauren.

I have never come across latex paint here (South Africa). Phoned one
of
the major paint companies today. The only latex paint they have is
for
coating the inside of spray booths. When covered with overspray it is

peeled off and recoated.
What is the latex paint that is so often mentioned?
What is it used for?
What is the thinner?

Just need to know G
Thanks
