Oil-based enamel delivers a high gloss finish while the latex enamel is available in a low-sheen (no-glare) or gloss finish.

Interior concrete will accept either oil-based or latex floor paint. 2  First, conduct a test for porosity to determine if there is a sealer or wax coating and a test for moisture if the area is subject to seepage or damp conditions.
