NOT a good idea. It will soon get marked up and be difficult to wash. Won't stand up to greasy steam and that's in most kitchens at cooking time. I always do mine with semi-gloss enamel and melamine for the cupboards.

What are alternate uses for interior paint?

You can paint pretty much anything with interior paint. You could use it to paint walls in any room of your house such as the kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom.


Is matte paint only emulsion?

Emulsion (latex) paint is usually the least expensive matte paint, but it isn't the only kind available. For small projects such as crafts you could use acrylic paint. For walls, you could use emulsion, lime-wash or traditional milk paint. Lime-wash or milk paint would be more expensive, but they give off less toxic fumes and are also used in restoring historic homes because they are more authentic. For a very matte effect, you can also put pigments in the plaster (if you are building plaster walls) instead of painting them. Oil-based paints always have some shine to them, but are preferred for painting woodwork and for outdoor projects because they stand up to harsh weather and to being washed better than emulsion paints.


What type of paint should you use on your dining room walls?

We recently painted our kitchen and there is grease coming through the paint. How do I get rid of it It is a latex Kitchen/bath paint.?

I am not a painter however, I have rust from nails coming through and staining the paint. I have been told for stuff that comes through the paint use Kil-Z OIL BASE use some strong primer like kiltz or pro block. Then top coat after it dries. To properly take care of the situation you would need to strip the paint in your kitchen and use a degreaser on the effected areas. Prime and then paint again with a paint designed for kitchen and bathrooms.

Will latex paint cover acrylic craft paint on walls?

I would use a good primer first.


What kinde of paint could you use onsilk wallpaper?

Most modern emulsion paints should cover any type of wallpaper. The only problem with this is that the weight of paint and water content may 'peel or sag' the original paper on the walls. This will depend on the type of paper etc. My suggestion is, don't cheat, strip the old wallpaper off and then decide whether to paint or paper.
