Can't you use normal acrylic paint from the paint shop?

I would try TAO or any of the chain paint suppliers. They should have a good selection of pre-mixed or custom colors available in liters. Home Works as well, should have them available for small projects.

i think you are confusing latex wall paint and acrylic paint. different thing altogether, acrylic paint is for artists and usually comes in toothpaste tubes, not gallon cans.

I think you mean the oil based paints for canvas?

Best buy on eBay and save a ton.

if you are painting something on a wall yes for certain you can use acrylic wall paint purchased from homepro or any hardware that sells paint , get it mixed in a colour chosen from one of the charts ...its water based so easy to clean up... i have used it many times works fine ...

Not confused at all. Latex is a mix of acrylic, vinyle, and anything else they can put in. 100% acrylic, is just that. Lots of small projects require a small amount of paint, but demand the color retention and durability of pure acrylic. Any contractor needing some paint for a door, or shutters will need this.
