| What type of paint satin, semi-gloss, high-gloss is best to use on molding (crown, baseboard, etc.) I trough high-gloss was best, but someone recommend semi-gloss as it give a better finished look |

| Most DIYers can achieve a smoother finish with semi and satin paints/finishes than with gloss. Getting a smooth finish when using gloss requires some practice and good or better---not average or cheap---equipment. A $3 paint brush will leave a streaky finish when using gloss paint, for instance. I think gloss is better. |

| I use full gloss (acrylic) with about 4 ox of Floetrol per gallon. A very good brush (think about $15) is also needed. |
