What are the best types of kitchen wall paint?

Answer by  primatefreak (1616)

Best type of latex paint to use in a kitchen is semi-gloss, low sheen or eggshell. Kitchens have more moisture from cooking. These paints are durable and washable.

First, be sure to choose a quality brand, paying a little extra is worth the durability. The most important thing is the finish. Use either a semi-gloss or eggshell finish. Because of the moisture and washability factor flat paint is not a good choice.

My experience with paints has led me to believe that a semi-flat paint works well for the kitchen. It has some shine but also allows for easy clean up of food splashed on the wall.

Unless you know what type of paint you will be painting over, a good acrylic latex in a semi-gloss finish is a quite safe and durable paint.
