are you sure. is it latex. if it was painted and not glazed, don't worry it will all wash down the drain soon.
Clear primer.
All mouldings were once painted in a high gloss paint because the higher the gloss the more durable the paint. These days most interior mouldings can be painted in either a semi-gloss or satin depending on your personal aesthetics.
Waterproof. The type and style will mostly depend on what it is being painted onto.
Semi-gloss paint sometimes has problem sticking to walls that have a higher gloss paint type already on them. Usually, a light sanding and a coat of primer will help. Sometimes, semi-gloss paint peels if it was applied during high-humidity weather, as it doesn't dry all the way through.
Most glues will stick to gloss paint.

The difference between a matte paint and a gloss paint are the shine once they are painted on. Gloss paints are really shiny, and matte are finishes with no glare.

LOL...no sorry, it will just be a bit shinier than anticipated. (gloss is quite scary if painted over an entire wall - better for trim and cabinets, etc)

Can I paint semi gloss over flat paint? Thanks!Barbara Phillips
Yes, you can generally paint high gloss latex over flat latex paint. But you must do all the preparation work in the best tradition of any professional painter. All "flaking" must be removed and the raw wood primed. This will present a "smooth" surface for the new coating. Additionally, everything that is to be painted my be scrupulously clean and free of anything that will restrict the new latex from sticking to the old.
I always use a semi gloss white acrylic, and paint them before installation.
