If you choose water-based paint, there are acrylic and vinyl acetate copolymer based formulations. A pure acrylic formula offers several advantages including better colour holdout and adhesion in wet conditions, improved grease softening resistance, and better resistance to peeling, blistering, dirt and fungal growth. Resistance to staining from water and foods like mustard, tomato sauce and coffee is another plus along with resistance to alkalinity in household cleansers.
