Which is the best paint for walls?

Answer 1

It depends on which room you are painting the walls in. For kitchens and bathrooms you would want a semi-gloss or something that is easy to wash off. For bedrooms or living rooms that type of room, I like matte or eggshell finish. I really can't stand any paint with a glare to it. They do make washable eggshell paint. Also get water based.

Answer 2

Almost any latex paint unless you want an alkyd flat enamel, a far more durable surface. However not all stores sell alkyd flat enamel. Sherwin Williams does and I think Dulux does, and those would be classified as industrial finishes.

I would not use any behr paint even to paint the inside of a garbage can and I don't like Benjamin Moore. You will find the wall paints at Lowes the easiest to put on, not so much drag on the roller or the brush.

Answer 3

Best Washable Paint For Walls

Answer 4

I have found most of the paints sold at hardware stores, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. to all be fine. But you need to match your paint to the room--i.e. you need a pearl or enamel finish for bathrooms, you might want a pearl finish for kids bedrooms since it is easier to wash, and most decorators prefer flat for living rooms, dining rooms, etc. I find latex to be just fine and it washes up with soap and water. Ask the guys in the paint dept--they love to give advice! Also the secret to a successful paint job is good preparation. Make sure you remove all switchplates, towel bars, etc.-- don't be lazy!!

Hey...do you have kids? and what part of the house?....if you have kids a semi-gloss is easier to clean than a matte. But, a back wall behind the TV where there is no access to, a matte finish does'nt show a "shine" when it is nice outside.....lots of options......good luck!

polyurethane or acrylic based paint is good for walls but ensure that wall is roughened and then good quality base putty is applied and then top it with paint
