    Definitions of Finishes

    EasyCare Finish 
    • Flat: Has a smooth look that helps hide minor imperfections. Good for living rooms, dining rooms, dens and home offices.
    • Eggshell: (Not available in WeatherAll® exterior paints) Has a soft, washable sheen that looks great in living rooms, dining rooms, dens and home offices.
    • Satin: Has a slightly shiny appearance that holds up well to washing. Great for often-used spaces such as hallways, kid's bedrooms and playrooms.
    • Semi-gloss: Has a higher gloss level than satin, but not as shiny as high-gloss. Use in kitchens and bathrooms or on trim and windows.
