What's the difference in paint

Flat has no shine to it at all. Satin is just above flat with just a touch of gloss and semi gloss as a definite shine to it but won't knock your eye out like gloss or high gloss. Some companies us the words egg shell,soft gloss and many others to complicate the situation.. My son uses many types of paint in his cabinetry business. A lot of people want painted cabinets these days. I personally like egg shell or satin for walls because it wipes off easier than flat. Semi gloss for trim work and cabinets.
 

Make a trip into a DIY place and let them show you with their samples.....I personally like Sherwin Williams best... but Home Depot or Lowes have paint departments that could help you... or go to an ACE hardware.
