Ok so I need to paint freshly sanded wood trim in a couple of our rooms and I don't want to use oil based paint because intense smell makes me seriously ill. I've been doing some research online and apparently I can use something called latex or acrylic paint, problem is I can't find it anywhere. I've looked on B&Q's website for example and they all seem to be oil based. I have a couple of questions I hope you don't mind answering;
1. Do latex/acrylic based paints have a different name in the UK and where can I buy them?
2. When using latex/acrylic paints, do I need to need to prime to wood first? if so what kind of primer should I buy?
Please be as specific as possible. I'm new to diy and I find the various paint types somewhat confusing.
Thanks in advance.
