Choosing points
- Best for walls and ceilings where color should easily tune the atmosphere and be repairable.
- Matte paint hides substrate unevenness but marks easily.
- Glossier paint cleans better but shows roller marks and wall waves.
- Touch-up paint can flash and look patchy.
How it ages
- Scuffs, hand oils, moisture, UV, cracks, and poor primer can cause stains, peeling, fading, or flashing.
What to avoid
- Do not use wall paint as waterproofing, mold remediation, or structural crack repair; fix the cause before painting.
