Paint Finish FAQs
What paint finish is best for bathrooms?
Satin or semi-gloss. Both resist moisture and can be wiped clean, which matters in humid Florida bathrooms.
What finish should I use on interior walls?
Eggshell is the most popular choice for living rooms, bedrooms and hallways. It hides small flaws and wipes clean.
What finish is best for trim and cabinets?
Semi-gloss. It stands up to fingerprints and frequent cleaning, and gives trim a crisp look against flatter walls.
What finish is best for a stucco exterior?
Flat or satin exterior paint is most common on Florida stucco. Satin is easier to wash, while flat hides texture variations best.
