Exterior house paint -- flat?, satin, semi-gloss?
I am about to paint the entire exterior of a 2-story detached single family
home. It has all wood siding, and wood trim around the windows. It is a
rental property in an okay but not high-end area.
The plan is to paint it all white -- siding, trim, eaves, etc.
We are going to try spray painting most of it with a good airless paint
sprayer, and then cutting in and finishing the rest with a brush and roller.
And, we are probably going to be using Home Depot's Behr Premium Plus Ultra
Exterior Latex Paint.
My main question is, should we be painting it with flat paint, satin finish
paint, or semi-gloss paint?
I am thinking, not semi-gloss, but maybe either flat or satin finish.
Any recommendations or suggestions? -- particularly about flat versus
satin -- but also any other thoughts or suggestions to keep in mind.
Thanks
