How to Choose the Right Paint Sheen or Finish

The paint you purchase for your next paint project is important, and should be determined by the type of room you’re painting, the light source and other important factors. Professional contractor and FrogTape® spokesperson Tom Bury explains how to choose the right sheen or finish before starting your next DIY project.

The level of traffic or moisture that a room receives is important. The choice between a durable gloss finish in rooms that might require frequent cleaning or a less durable matte finish in low traffic areas can mean the difference between a coat of paint that lasts year after year or one that requires frequent retouching. Check out the video for Tom’s full list of helpful tips, including the difference between matte and eggshell paint, and how to prep your surface for high gloss paint.
