Choosing a Sheen for Exterior Painting

Once you know what type of paint is going to give you the most longevity, it’s time to choose an exterior paint sheen that works best for the demands of your exterior and suits your tastes. Generally, exterior paint is done in either a flat/matte finish or a satin/eggshell finish. Flat finishes are good for camouflaging dirt and minor surface imperfections. And eggshell/satin finishes have those benefits, plus a low gloss to minimize glare and reflectivity while still giving exterior walls a polished appearance.
