One size does not fit all. Different applications have different requirements, and success requires matching the characteristics of the paint to the performance requirements of the application.
A number of specially formulated paints exist for special applications, the most commonly used general categories of paint are water-based latex and oil-based or solvent-based products. In latex paint, the majority of the liquid is water.
In oil based paint, the liquid consists of a number of organic solvents. Each has its own performance characteristics that affect the way they perform in different applications.
