Some of the home improvement shows on TV have featured either gloss or
semi-gloss white ceilings in homes. �They say that it increases the

plaster, and have a lot of "character" (which some might call
"imperfections".)


Would a gloss or semi-gloss paint call out these imperfections and
magnify them? �Would it be a mistake to use anything other than flat
paint?


I would not use semi with any defects in plaster, remember basic white
is greyed , bot good unless walls are in the blue-grey tones.


I ONLY use sem gloss paint on everything, for easy clean up of any
marks on walls etc. paint jobs last far longer this way

scrubbing flat paint leaves a wierd mark
