Which type of paint is better for walls: water-based or oil-based?

What are Water-based paints? Water-based paints have a pigment, a binder, and a carrier in the form of water. They are the most widely used and environmentally beneficial paint. They retain colors better over time, dry faster, and emit less odours than alternatives. Finally, while water-based paints can typically be placed over existing oil-based paints, the reverse is not true. What are Oil-based paints? Oil-based paints are extremely durable and can withstand repeated contact, which makes them ideal for molding and trimmings. Because the resin in an oil-based paint produces a hard, non-breathable coating over time, this method also resists stains and rust. Oil-based paints have a stronger odour and take longer to dry than water-based paints, so keep that in mind. It's also more difficult to keep them clean.
