PAINTING Q: How do I choose the right sheen? A: Choosing the right sheen for your painting project is a critical step for a lasting paint job. The sheen level or gloss level of paint will have an impact on appearance and usability. Sheen levels can also affect color perception. Often the same color with a different sheen will appear as a different color. Typically, the color will appear lighter when a higher gloss is used and much richer when a lower gloss paint is used. Using a paint with a higher gloss increases the durability of paints, resistance of stains and moisture resistance. Higher sheen levels will also highlight defects and imperfections on a surface. It may seem confusing having to choose from so many sheen levels. But once you understand what each has to offer, you'll appreciate the luxury of being able to select the exact combination of paint attributes you want in every part of your home.
