it depends about the project or application you require
as nc or nitrocellulose is very fast drying and higher prices with slightly better look
alkyd i prefer as it takes much time for drying so i can apply easily and cheaper price
so if u paint in a store and make quick loading of materials go for nc
for outdoor bug projects go for alkyds
hope that helps

Can you paint over latex paint with alkyd lacquer paint that is for concrete floors?
I wouldn't recommend it. Some of the chemicals in the alkyd will dissolve the latex and the alkyd won't "stick". It's best to remove the latex using laquer thinner or xylene first.
What is the difference between alkyd latex and waterborne alkyd?
Traditionally, alkyds are found in solvent-based paints that must be reduced with paint thinner or mineral spirits. "Waterborne alkyd" is a generic term to refer to an alkyd resin that can be used in a water-thinnable paint. Because alkyds are not miscible with water, a chemical modification is sometimes used to produce a hybrid alkyd resin - often acrylic/alkyd or urethane/alkyd - that is compatible with water. These hybrids are often categorized generically under the term waterborne alkyds. A pure alkyd can be emulsified in water using appropriate surfactant combinations. This type of surfactant-stabilized alkyd emulsion has been sometimes referred to as an "alkyd latex." Different resin manufacturers use varying terminology to describe waterborne alkyds with the terms alkyd emulsion, alkyd dispersion, and alkyd latex being among the most common.
Can you use lacquer paint over alkyd primer?
Yes, the water borne latex paint manufactured today can be covered successfully with nearly any finish imaginable, including an alkyd primer. However, if possible I would exchange the alkyd with any water base primer/sealer. Costs less and the fumes aren't as offensive.
Which is better alkyd stain or oil based stain?
There is no difference. They are one in the same.
What is Alkyd Primers?
Primer made with alkyd base.

What is the difference between wood paint and alkyd paint?
Alkyd paint has a resin in it to help the oil in the paint dry faster, oil based paint in my opinion has a more vibrant colors, both in depth an brightness, waterbased seems to be toned down some-what. Wood paint can be either water based or oil based and even water soluble oil based. Oil based alkyd paint lately are used for things or areas that might receive abuse, and because of the slower drying time the oil based alkyd paint will show less brush marks then water based paint.
Will lacquer thinner damage clear coat?
Lacquer thinner (any containing strong solvents like ketones , xylene, toluene, etc) will damage any paint, including clearcoat. A single pack acrylic clearcoat is most vunerable(thinners will destroy it.) , and 2-pack urathane is more resistant, but will soften on the surface and lose its gloss if wiped with lacquer thinners. Thinners for alkyd enamels is fine. It is a mild hydrocarbon solvent found in wax and grease remover, and won't damage the paint.
What is an alkyd?
Alkyd is used to create paints that will dry extremely hard and will resist multiple cleanings. Normally, alkyd paints are oil-based, but there are now water based varieties. You can find alkyd paints on doors and trim both inside and outside houses.
Can an interior alkyd primer be used for priming decoys?
Yes, an interior alkyd primer can be used to prime decoys.
What is the difference between acrylic alkyd and modified alkyd?
Acrylic alkyd is a type of alkyd resin modified with acrylic to improve durability, gloss, and color retention. Modified alkyd refers to any alkyd resin that has been altered or enhanced with additional compounds to change its properties, which can include acrylic modifications but may involve other additives as well.
The most common solvent used today for thinning alkyd paint is?
The solvents used to thin alkyd paint can vary as much as the painters do. However, most references point towards using regular paint thinners such as lacquer thinner. However, usually more than 10% is needed. ChaCha on!
