| I am going to have all interior doors changed. And I need to choose the paint for interior doors, door casing, and crown moulding. What sheen should I choose, semi gloss or gloss? Thank you very much. |

Thank you very much, snookums and faron79.
Faron79, did you mean that door: S/G. casing: S/G, crown moulding: satin? Thanks. |

| Well...I s'pose you could do a different sheen on the crowns (may even look kinda cool!), but then you'd be buying the same color in 2 sheens! I was just being silly, with my preference for s/g in these cases! It's more durable for baseboards, etc. Faron |

| I think you can do the higher glosses underneath for durability and then your preference for sheen for the top coat? |

| Definitely semigloss. For years out of habit used gloss (maybe because our parents had) but then saw a beautiful house with semigloss and have never used anything else since. |

| Thank you very much for all your help. My contractor suggested gloss. I'll take your suggestion and go with semi gloss. I also think gloss is two shiny. |

| It can be kind of a regional thing too... Better homes out East use Gloss some of the time. Faron |
