Question 2

What's the difference between matte, satin, and gloss paint finishes?

Accepted Answer

The difference between matte, satin, and gloss paint finishes comes down to sheen level, appearance, and durability. Matte finishes work best for bedrooms, living rooms, and ceilings, creating a smooth, soft, and no-shine appearance while hiding imperfections. Satin finishes are more durable and washable than matte, creating a slight sheen appearance with a soft, velvety glow ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and kids' rooms. Gloss finishes are the most durable, easiest to clean, and best for stain and moisture resistance, creating a high shine, reflective appearance ideal for trim, doors, and cabinets. Find the best finish for your project in our DIY guide to types of paint finishes, sheens, and textures.

Question 4

Why should I use a primer before painting?

Accepted Answer

Primer sets the foundation for a smooth, durable finish with better paint adhesion and color coverage for more vibrant, longer-lasting results. Prep your surfaces with primer to block stains, seal porous surfaces, prevent bleed-through, and enhance adhesion on difficult surfaces and challenging materials.
