    Another vote for eggshell. It gives a great finish on the fake panel effect doors. I used satin on skirting for a change from gloss. Never again :eek:

    Thats probably because you put it on too thick. Two thin coats are far better than one thick one.

    Personally I hate satin finish with a vengeance but if its a smooth non-gloss finish now and thats what you want to replicate then eggshell would be a much better choice.

    Cheers

    yes, i use eggshell for all my white woodwork. I love the finish I get with it.
