What type of paint is on my walls?

Many people ask, what type of paint is on my walls? Well we've got a handy tip to help you find out!

The best way to test to see what paint you have on your walls is to:

• Get a rag preferably clean and may be a dark-coloured as this will show up the results better.
• Get some methylated spirits, dampen the rag and then rub it on the wall.
• If the paint starts to dissolve, then you know you have a water based paint on your walls.
• If it does not dissolve, it is most likely a solvent based or enamel.
