I like and always recommend a low luster paint on the exterior of a home, except for the front door and shudders for that a good satin or gloss as in Benjamin Moore's Grand Entrance. It levels great and gives a lot of durability for washing off dirt and hand prints.

Sure wish t would have seen this before painting my 100 year old cedar shake garage. We went with Benjamin Moore regal select in low luster at the advice of the salesman. We find it too shiny! We have been told that the sheen will lessen over time. Is this true? How long? What prep work would we need to do to repaint the garage with flat paint?

Firstly, love your videos. Secondly, our old colonial house’s exterior is being painted this summer. Our painter uses Benjamin Moore and has advised us to use flat for the siding to hide all the imperfections. But it seems that low lustre would be more durable. Any other thoughts on how to make this decision?

Would a satin finish be appropriate for the fascia part of a typical asphalt shingle roof? We have a lot of problems with mold and soot from the shingles staining the fascia and it needs CONSTANT washing.

Hi, I'm really struggling with picking low sheen or semi gloss for my patio roof. It's an older house so there is slight waving to it. I like the low sheen option but have to keep in mind I do have geckos and moths that make it dirty. (I'm painting it lexicon-half) any help would be great. 😊

I live in a big house in the middle of a field. We went with a gray and every gray comes out blue for some reason. We did 2 coats of different grays with satin and it both came out blue.. So we are thinking the sky is reflecting off from the sheen causing it to look blue. So we are doing a 3rd coat but using flat instead of satin thinking the sky will no longer reflect off the sheen. Is it fine to switch from satin to flat on the final coat?

Is Benjamin Moore soft-gloss a good option for porch ceilings? The gables are open and the ceilings would include the soffits. I planned for the trim to be soft-gloss. (We’re painting over new Hardee Board. The siding would be low-lustre.)

@@dolphinpaintingllc6292 Thank you. I just bought a Victorian home, in which the previous owner had it painted and within a very short time the paint is already chipping away. When talking to a historian, she mentioned that wood siding needed to be hand painting the old fashion way, and use a good quality paint. I’m concern that after spending thousands of dollars on repainting, I would need to be repainted in a short time again. So right now I’m doing research and looking for advice with professional painters.

Not a good idea to use flat on a house in a hot sunny, humid, rainy weather. It gets horrible in no time. I prefer satin. Washable and durable for many years.
