What Is High Gloss Paint Used For

High gloss paints are the easiest to clean and are typically used on doors and cabinets exposed to dirt and oil and can also be used for trim and some woodwork. High gloss paint can emphasize surface imperfections.

What will a high gloss paint do to a room?

High-gloss amplifies light, giving it a romantic, shimmering look, especially when juxtaposed with a softer finish. Accent pieces with rich texture, such as a wool throw, sisal rug, and even unglazed ceramic vases, balance the room.

Can you brush on high gloss paint?

When painting with high-gloss latex, use the highest quality applicators available, as there is no room for error with this sheen of paint. Brushes are the most difficult to use for applying high-gloss latex, but if your project demands it, select a brush with synthetic bristles that have exploded tips.
