It depends on where you live. States in the Mid-Atlantic region, including Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, DC, New York, and a small portion of Virgina, along with California, Ohio and Illinois don't allow the sale of oil based paints. Other than that, most states allow the use of oil based house paints. Check your local regulations to be sure that oil based paints are in your area.

Paint companies are working on improving water based alternatives to take the place of oil based paints. In fact, Acrylic latex paints have outperformed their oil based counterparts in exterior applications for years.
