High gloss Exterior Oil-Based Gloss Enamel over Quality Primer will give the best results on a cornice.
Enamel paint is basically a type of oil based paint. It can be defined as a semi or high-gloss paint that levels out all by itself. You spread it evenly with a brush, and then the strokes vanish; it forms an enamel surface. It works superlatively on a distinctive primer that equalizes the surface.
No. You must sand the gloss of and them prime and then paint. Semi and High Gloss is only meant for wood not dry wall. Its the worst idea ever to put a gloss on dry wall. Any paint with an Enamel is just as washable.
Many other companies make a a comparable paint. Ask for there top or second line of high gloss acrylic and you should be satisfied.
Base paint is also known as flat paint, or flat wall paint, or matt paint and is a latex paint. Flat paint is just that, flat or dull with no sheen at all. Semi-gloss is an enamel that dries very hard and can be found in a low sheen (satin) a medium sheen (semi-gloss) and a high sheen (high gloss) Flat paint is usually used on walls and ceilings where as semi-gloss is used in kitchens, bathrooms, doors an jambs because it helps hold back the inherent moisture in those areas.

No, often high gloss paint is oil based.
Well yes. Any good paint that is labeled "satin" or "semi-gloss" is nicely washable. Of course, high gloss enamel is highly washable, but I do not think that is what you are after. The semi gloss is especially appropriate for children's rooms because of it's tough wear.
If the question is: What is the ratio of high gloss paint to flat paint sold, the answer is 57:33.

Enamel paint is oil or alkyd. Alkyd paint is probably the most well known type of oil paint available on the market. The word alkyd actually refers to the synthetic resin used as a binder in the paint. This would be the oil in the paint, most commonly vegetable oil. Alkyd paints also come in a wide variety of finishes making it ideal for multiple different projects. Alkyd paint is very resistant to normal wear and tear. Thus, this type of paint is used commonly in "high traffic" type areas. This would include doors and trim within a home and also items that would need painting in the kitchen and bathroom such as cabinets. The alkyd paint will hold up to all the abuses that may come its way. Acrylic enamel is a water based full gloss usually for interior surfaces only. The gloss is nearly as high as gloss enamel but it is not quite as durable. One advantage is that if you are using white it does not discolor over time as much as alkyd based enamel. Also from a professional point i have never found the finish to be as good as enamel with less than three coats.
