it is always been my understanding that eggshell is nearly impossible
to touch up. that is a big advantage of flat.


It's true that flat is easier than more glossy finishes, but by no means
does it mean it can't be touched up. If so, no one would ever be able to
touch up semi gloss trim, and the like. Ridiculous.



I agree. I use mostly semi-gloss outside and
inside but my walls are textured. I have touched
up yellow after several years (woodgrain,
pressboard siding) and couldn't tell the touch up
from the rest. Last fall I touched up some bad
areas of gray and you couldn't tell where I added
paint. I use a brush on outside work.

Inside my walls are a heavy knock-down, so that
helps and we use mostly light colors but one
bedroom is blue. No one can tell where I have
added paint on either the walls or the trim.
