As the Painter who started Investment Painting 51 years ago I must Disagree. When the Federal Government started phasing out most solvent based paints around 25 yrs ago Sherwin Williams and other manufactures developed various WATER BASED ENAMELS. Not to be confused with LATEX which is a brand name such as KLEENEX. PRO CLASSIC WATER BASED ENAMEL is used on most of the trim in the Villages. The installers in the case of the flooring rushed the drying time. Water based paint will not remain sticky if properly applied. LEN The retired half of Investment Painting.
