Whats the best paint to use on walls? not for an entire room/walls but to paint stars or flowers etc.

Question

i was asked to paint my aunts kitchen wall with my skills for floral painting but im not sure what would be best to use.

and i was asked to paint a kids room as well with little animals or something and im not to sure what paint would be best.

thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

With the painting being in a kitchen and a child's room, you'll want to use a washable paint like a gloss/semi-gloss latex.

There are some flat paints that are washable but they are more expensive.

Answer 2

What kind of paint is there now? Satin or Eggshell is a paint that can be scrubbed (in a kitchen or kids room) Stay away from Semi & High Gloss because it would be blinding with too much light. Flat is a bad choice because you can't scrub it at all, in a kids room and a kitchen you are going to have to scrub the wall to clean at one time or another.

Answer 3

I would suggest the Crafters Acrylic paints or Folk art paints you can get at most dollar stores of similar places.  The are cheap easy to use and easy to clean up as well as easy to paint over
