Also called: enamelized paint

paint that gives a very smooth, hard surface finish
Nowadays, the term ‘enamel paint’ is used to cover a wide variety of conventional solvent-borne alkyd or oleo-resinous paints ranging from flat to full gloss which simulate flow, smoothness and appearance of a vitreous enamel. Some modern products are marketed as acrylic enamels when they are in fact acrylic paints. This is because it is claimed they simulate enamel-like properties in a water-based paint. They should not be confused with true acrylic (solvent-based) enamels.
