Difference between alkyd and enamel paint?

Answer 2

They aren't comparable. Alkyd is a type of resin that is available in both oil and water-based paints; while enamel is a description that is used to indicate that a paint dries to a hard surface with a glossy sheen.

Answer 3

When you hear the word enamel in a paint, that is referring to the hardness and not the content. There can be an Oil Based Enamel, a Water Based Enamel. Enamel is how hard the final finish is. Enamels normally are high gloss but there can also be enamels in a flat paint also. Enamels are very durable and can be scrubbed again and again. That is the reason you find most enamels going into a kitchen or bath and also trims and woodwork.
