| I am painting my built-in bookshelves in LR black satin and need to find the right type of black paint. Painter used oil-based outdoor satin (which is ok to use for interior surfaces) but after 4 weeks, it chalks when you touch it and it scratches too easily. I need a durable paint in eggshell or semi-gloss - any ideas??? |

| Either SW ProClassic or BM Impervo should work for you. Both are used often for kitchen cabinets and woodwork. I used SW ProClassic semi-gloss in white to paint a half wall of 60's paneling and a built in bookshelf and it looks great and has worn well for a couple of years. I've noticed no peeling, chipping, scratching, or chalking. Cabinet Coat which is found at Ace Hardware, I believe, is also recommended often is this forum.

| Is your existing Satin Oil paint on the shelves a PRE-tinted Black from the factory... OR, Is it a store-tinted color with a formula-label? Search out a PRE-TINTED Black in Semi-gloss or Gloss. Rule out Eggshell NOW. Cabinet-Coat will only tint to Pastel tones. Cure-time b4 ANYTHING goes back on?!?! You COULD look into an FPE Black. That stuff is UNreal. Faron |
