What is the difference between flat, satin and semi-gloss paint?
Flat paint will have no visible sheen to it and is not a washable surface. Satin paint has a slight sheen to it and is more washable than a flat. Semi-gloss paint has a noticeable sheen to it and is the most washable and scrubbable of the three.
