Paint Sheen

8 years ago

Can you tell me what sheen paint is used on the brick? We are painting our brick house SW Pure White and can't decide between flat and satin. Thanks and beautiful project!

I always use Flat when painting exteriors. Satin can have poor aesthetics under harsh lighting conditions from both natural and artificial light. Hope this helps!
