Well, honey, the solvent in an emulsion paint is water. Yes, good old H2O is the one doing all the heavy lifting in that paint. So next time you're painting your walls, just remember it's basically fancy water with some color thrown in.

The solvent in an emulsion paint is typically water. Emulsion paints are water-based paints where the pigment is suspended in water along with other additives like binders and fillers. When the paint is applied, the water evaporates, leaving behind a solid film of paint on the surface.

Still, you would have to be specific about what class of paint it is -- not it's intended appearance. More than likely, you're referring to an enamel. Enamel paints are more difficult that most to break down so use the above.

Gloss paints are available in all types of bases. The most common gloss paints used in homes are either oil based or water based alkyds or water based acrylic or vinyls latexes.
