Choosing points
- Best for homes, shops, and offices where wall color needs to be flexible and easy to refresh.
- Matte paint hides unevenness but marks easily; gloss paint reveals bumps and roller marks.
- Corners, switches, handles, and chair backs collect scuffs.
- Touch-up paint can leave patchy sheen differences.
How it ages
- Durability depends on paint type, substrate, moisture, UV, and cleaning. High-touch areas age quickly.
What to avoid
- Do not use paint to solve dampness, moving cracks, or damaged substrate; those failures must be fixed before painting.
