New home, new experience, lol
I have to paint all the trim in our new home. It is currently all painted out to the same colour as on the walls, ie rust/terracotta. So far I have primed all the walls and the trim in a tinted primer. (a hint of grey to hide the dark reds)
Prev. house we used semi gloss white because it was a victorian and that is what was on there before, so I just did touch ups.
But now I can join all the millions of followers and use Cloud White, lol
What type of finish do I buy? Flat? Pearl? Semi? Is it the same BM latex paint as I use on the walls or something else for trim?
thx

As other have mentioned, your best bet is to use a semi-gloss finish

use semi gloss (we generally use Glidden paints).
I too use BM semi for trim
For trim we normally use a semi-gloss finish, BM product.
