[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I normally do flat for ceilings, eggshell for interior walls and semi gloss for doors, trim and furniture. [/quote] I would not do eggshell for walls. In my experience, it's hard to paint over eggshell unless it is primed first. Otherwise it may run. Our house, we did: Extra Flat for ceiling, Flat for walls and Satin for trim and doors. For paint color, remember that a little color goes a long way. Buy a small sample for $3 and paint it on a oversized sheet of paper... like office flit chart or Ikea kids drawing paper roll. tape it to the wall and see how it looks during day/night. [/quote] I had painter talk me into flat walls. Mistake - it was easier for him. Should have insisted on Eggshell. [b]Can't clean flat paint[/b].[/quote] Of course you can clean flat paint, after all it is latex. Magic Eraser works great! http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Clean-Eraser-Cleaning-8-Count/dp/B001339ZMW [/quote]
