Satin or flat on stucco?

11 years ago

I am remodeling my parent's Florida 1950's stucco home and just put a new coat of knock down texture on it due to large settlment cracks. I like a flat finish, but I want the cleanability of satin. Would a slight sheen look too "commercial" on a stucco house? Planning to use SW Duration or Superpaint...any advice on flat vs. sheen and Duration vs. Superpaint on stucco? Thanks in advance!

Flat, Duration has a slight sheen to it, they call it matte, this is what I would use if affordable.
