I'm not a painter, in fact I'm a computer geek, but a large tech-tuber has recently been talking about his experience with painters messing up his new house and that's how I found this video. There are clips of him ranting about the situation and I think it'd be interesting seeing your reaction to those clips. Specifically the "The Paint Rant" from and "Why is it called Eggshell?" clips from LMG Clips.
I just watched those videos. Yeah that would a cool idea. Maybe we'll do it. Thanks Drew and their 'ain't nothin wrong' about being a geek :)
Hi Drew, thanks for sharing this comment and video. I watched the video a few times and I'm actually going to be filming a "Pro Painter Reacts" video for it today. I am also a nerd, and Linus gets quite a number of things wrong in his paint rant. I'm going to shoutout your comment in the beginning of the video which will be published later this week.
Thanks again for the comment!
Thank you for your very informative video. Can gloss paint be use for trim base border door ? Or when to used gloss paint ? Outside door?
This is exactly how to make an informative video. Quick brand intro; right to the point; excellent content; well spoken, likable presenter. Keep it up, bro
Thanks Geoff! I'm doing my best and I've got lots more content coming :)
Yes I agree …excellent straight to the point
Omgosh yes! I totally agree with this post. People wanna rant a lot to make that 10min mark when there’s not enough content.
Brand intro isn’t necessary. An excellent video just gets right to the point, no nonsense. Maybe this is a good video, but definitely not an excellent one.
Exactly amazing vid man
Finally, someone gets it right and to the point without the technical ramblings on paint applications. Time is money and you made me rich. You answered all of my questions in one very informative and short video. Thank you for your time.
I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🤙
What paint will you recommend for interior doors in an apartment. I’m trying to paint the bedroom Doors over and not sure which paint I should use?
THANK YOU FOR GETTING STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!!! NO useless ranting, just great information.
You are most welcome! But come on...who doesn't enjoy a useless rant from time to time 😂
Finally! A straightforward, to the point, and simple explanation of interior paints (with an authentic personality to boot!). Thank you for making my house painting decision easier.
Happy to help Gratitube!
i been painting for 40 years and have my painting company ... and this is right on point !
🤙
Im 28, been painting since I was 16 and in those 12 years, this has been the best way to explain so many paint questions that many many people have, like myself. And i learned something new as well so just keep up the great work guys!!!!!
Thanks my friend. Appreciate the kind words and we have hundreds of video ideas. Just trying to execute :)
That's the best description of paint and how to , where to use the paint. Thank you

Love your to the point and very clear explanations. Many thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Perfect explanation. Been looking all morning info on what type of paint to use. Finally found your video and makes so much sense. Thanks.
Glad we could help Ruby!
Thx for posting. Painter just used Matte finish in my home. Looks like I’ll leave it! 👍🏽
I'm glad the video was helpful. That's what I'm going for! 😁
Excellent explanation of the various paint finishes. I've always been partial to satin for most walls, mainly because it cleans well. But appearance wise I admit less sheen would probably look better.
You make a good point for satin. Satin cleans better than lower sheens. Thanks for the feedback.
By far the best paint related channel, I thought i already knew about the Sheen's and I learned about the Benny Moore paint that I'll use for my popcorn removal project today. Thanks man! You saved me with the promar ceiling paint now you saved me with the bathroom ceiling paint.
Your flattery will get you everywhere. Glad we can help, and thats why we do the channel.
Great video exactly what I’ve been looking for thank you TH-cam suggestions
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I'm glad it was helpful :)
Thank you sir. I'm a painter . I love you got straight to the point and covered the material we needed to hear
Glad to help Jamal. Happy painting!
What a great video, concise but chock full of pertinent information. Just what I was looking for, great job.
That’s what I was going for! Thanks for watching!
Finally! A bell went off in my head clearing the mass confusion of interior paint sheen options. With your highly succinct yet thorough short presentation of linear scale from flat up to gloss, I think I finally graduated the confident knowledge of interior paints selections test. So Thank You very much! You most assuredly saved me the expense of making a mistake in purchase selection this very day, also the wasted labor I was surely on path toward wrong application. Meaning double the trouble, at least. My time is very valuable to me at present, even more so than despised current high costs for paints, etc., simply because I've inadvertently become overloaded in accumulating mountain of DIY projects (opened can(s) of worms - on steroids; one step forward, two steps back; no light at the end of the tunnel; Does it ever END!) involved now in near TOTAL refurbishment of my little, old house - for my retirement years. Like the benefits of 'common sense' and 'KISS' (keep it simply stupid) I think you pulled off a gem of a valuable show here; I mean you aced it in my mind. And I am now off to my various DIY'er stomping grounds to confidently make the expensive purchases of the various required paints , each specific for it's own part of parts, towards the master project (s) of total house refurb. This is shaping up in my mind now. And along with the mass of tools and supplies required, just for this sector of the total project, and even for such a tiny home, I am making a major commitment/investment of both my own labor and limited funds, towards a happier retirement in my twilight years. Much thanks again goes to Jeremy for this very practical video, which really won it for me.
Glad we could help Steve. We didn't know how confusing paint sheens were for people until we made this video. Thanks again for the kind words and wish you the best on your project. I"m sure it will turn out great.
I really appreciate how detailed you were when describing the paints & how/where you would use them.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you found it useful! :)
Omg You answered all of my questions in one short video thank you so much!
I'm glad it helped!
This is an excellent explanation of the various finishes of paint for interior uses. Very good!
Thanks Dave!
"Okay, i think i nailed it"😆😆...yes u did....u are awesome man ...keep up..
Hahaha, thank you! I'm doing my best 😁
Tough choices. I love the flat look on walls but I am afraid of not being able to clean it. Especially if using expensive paint. Might have to go with matte after all.
Yes sir. We like matte a lot. Depends on how much people or pets will be touching the walls over time. Flat looks great, just marks up easily. Good luck!
@@SuperVassarBrothers what llving room wall paint do you recommend from sherwin? Cashmere eggshell or duration matte? My walls are textured a bit.
Always the Best videos. Short and to the point!
Thanks for watching and I hope it was helpful!
Awesome descriptions, makes it easier to pick out paints.
Appreciate it Dennis. Hope all goes well!
Wish I had watched before I painted my living ceiling with trim paint. Damnit man. No wonder it looks bad.lol
Hahaha, mystery solved 😬
I’ve been a painting subcontractor for 3 years now in new home construction, my boss always uses painters edge flat for the walls. It’s not the best by far, but it touches up so well
Hi Chad. Appreciate the advice. Have a good one!

Excellent job of explaining paint sheen. I asked the clerk at Menards who was no help in choosing the sheen for trim. Luckily, I out of sheer luck I picked the correct one but am so glad I watched this video before painting walls and ceilings. Great job!
I’m so happy the video was helpful! Good luck with your project!
Thank you, this video helped me under these terms for my own paint project. Especially liked the note about matte and eggshell from different brands.

This was a Great video. It was very informative ,very detail straight to the point information. thank you
Thanks for the kind words
Perfect brother! Appreciate quick and to the point
Happy to help Josh!
Great to see this. As a painter I know these well but even the people who mix the paint are often very confused about the sheen. I've had sherwin guys tell me satin is less shiny than eggshell. Also as an aside, satin has become much more popular near me for trim now days. People don't like the gloss of semi-gloss anymore in my area.
Same here with the satin on the trim. It depends on the product but a lot of folks like the satin finish especially with a product like Advance from Benjamin Moore. I still like the Emerald Urethane in semi-gloss but it comes down to whatever the client prefers. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video, exactly what I need to know.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, I'm glad I watched this before all the $$$ I spent on interior wall paint.
You are welcome! Good luck with your project!
I'm an architecture student and I love types of finishes, this was really so helpful ! thank you !!
You are most welcome!
Wow !!! This video is very useful. Thank you so much.
Glad to hear that!
This is a good video thanks. I just drywalled a new house and they had it painted satin grey. Now there repainting the whole house. I see this happen all the time. Don't go higher than eggshell on new drywall. If you take a sponge and water to "clean" your glossy walls, your gonna have a streaky looking mess forever. You want to eliminate the glares. Also, the darker the shade of color the more naturally reflective it is. Also, sheen looks great on textures! Also, flat paint will compliment things that should be shiny - like floors or countertops or trim. But hey, everyones an artist.
Thanks for the feedback!
It's the best video for a beginner, thank you.
You are most welcome! I’m glad it was helpful! 😁
Great job explaining and for the visual on paint sheens! I've used Sherwin Williams Harmony eggshell finish for my house (not bathroom) I'd say 6-7 years. Great colors, easy to apply but, I find the finish very dry almost chalky in color, not sure I would use it again when it's for a repaint.
Questions I have is, a couple of years after painting, one of the bedrooms started to have small pin head size air like bubbles - in clusters (think like seeing freckles on someones check) randomly in some areas of the walls. I have never come across this before, not sure how to repaint. Note we don't have this anywhere else, but this room did get a different paint color so definitely an isolated case. Thanks!
Hi Barbara. Your experience with Harmony sounds similar to ours. For the air bubbles we have this happen to us a few times a year. Usually we sand the area, spackle, sand, prime, then paint. Also make sure you give the primer and paint enough dry time in between. This should work, but sometimes it will still bubble. We like using the shrink free spackling from Sherwin Williams www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/products/shrink-free-spackling Good luck!
Thank you so much for clarifying this for me!
You are most welcome! I'm glad it was helpful!
Clear and Concise.
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Perfect explanation, thank you oodles!!
Happy to help Barbara.
Thanks a lot man, this was a pretty useful chart you created. We appreciate your channel
Thanks Reno. Nothing but high tech charts from us :)
@@SuperVassarBrothers lol
Glad I found your videos, thank you so much. I have recently painted kitchen cabinets with semi-gloss, and now I am really struggling whether or not if I should add clear/protective coat on. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
I used Benjamin Moor Advance semi-gloss (white)
Hi Andy. You should be good with how it is. Advance semi dries like an oil paint so it should be durable. We made the mistake years ago adding a clear coat to cabinets which made everything look yellow.
Also FYI we don't paint a lot of cabinets so I won't proclaim to be an expert on it. Thats just our experience.
@@SuperVassarBrothers Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for explaining this so well
Happy to help Manijha
Thank you you were more than helpful. I painted my hallway with satin paint and you’re right it was too glossy I trim it down to Matte came out a lot better

Glad we could help. Good luck on your project!
You are most welcome. Paint sheens can be super annoying to sort through. Good luck with you project! 😁🤙
Nice and informative presentation 👍 thank you.
Thanks my friend!
Great video I know nothing about painting all I knew is I wanted the wall to be some what cleanable so I ordered beyr high gloss luckily I watch this video I have canceled my order and I will be ordering eggshell thanks man very informative!
Glad we could help. High gloss would be cleanable, but would be extremely shiny. Good choice with the eggshell and good luck with your paint project.
Best explanation video I’ve seen to date
Thanks Ruben. Have a good one!
Wow; what a great explanation, thanks much
Thanks Meisha!
Indeed you nailed it!!!! Thanks so much!!!
Glad to help Mariana :)
Best video ever about paint finishes
Why thank you kind sir 🫡
The more glossy, the easier it is to clean, wipe down and it won’t come off on the towel being used. Flat reminds me of colored chalk in texture and almost acts that way when you wipe it down. It’ll come off onto the towel. Thanks for keeping it simple!
You are most welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Great video. I am a mural artist and I paint exterior as well as interior murals. I use Sherwin Williams paints and primers. To insure duration of my murals for exterior I use Duration or Latitude is Satin. For interior I have used the eggs but I will try the matt after seeing this video. I have experienced that matt paint in mural work builds up all looks odd compared to satin finish.
Nice! You may also wanna give the emerald line a look. Emerald matte has become our new go to wall paint over the last year or so.
Excellent video!! Love your demeanor 💯
I'm glad it was helpful!
Thanks! Great informative video!
I'm glad it was useful! Thanks for watching 😁
