Door frames are a good area for gloss paints. That's an area that can get dirty fairly easy and gloss paint cleans up well.
No, often high gloss paint is oil based.
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.
Most glues will stick to gloss paint.
High gloss Exterior Oil-Based Gloss Enamel over Quality Primer will give the best results on a cornice.
At one time paint only came in a limited gloss range, flat, semi-gloss and high-gloss. The higher the gloss factor the harder the paint... the harder the paint the more washable it is. People used to only use high gloss or semi-gloss in kitchens and bathrooms so they could keep the rooms cleaner. These days, with the availability of a wider selection of gloss finishes and the tendency for people to paint more frequently, it is no long essential to use semi-gloss in your kitchen. I have been using a pearl luster paint successfully in kitchen for more than ten years with very good results.

Can I paint semi gloss over flat paint? Thanks!Barbara Phillips
walls
For trim, it is recommended to use a high-quality, semi-gloss or gloss paint. These types of paint are durable and easy to clean, making them ideal for trim which often gets touched or bumped.
Semi-gloss paint most times exposes the metal of your car. It can lead to rust and erosion issues. Gloss paint is definitely the way to go.
Yes, you can. You can always paint over with same paint.
For bathrooms, semi-gloss paint is often recommended due to its durability and moisture resistance, making it easier to clean while providing a subtle sheen. Gloss paint, while even more reflective and washable, can highlight imperfections on walls and may feel too shiny for some preferences. Ultimately, the choice between semi-gloss and gloss depends on the desired aesthetic and the specific conditions of the bathroom.
