    Yes its fine. I personally prefer the eggshell finish and its less likely to yellow.

    Impressive Crown paints continue -Sunshine Matt -bedroom walls.
    Made direct from almost close by decorating hub.
    Since found perfect internal wooden doors paint online -is .75L enough to paint 5 standard wooden internal doors.
    1 bedroom flat-not massive doors. T.i.a.

    What does 750ml crown paint cover.
    Is this enough to paint 5 standard wooden internal doors.
    maybe 2.5L is correct.
    y.i.a.

    Recommendation is 2 coats of eggshell.
    1 litre of eggshell will cover approx 12 square metres
    Doors are roughly about 3 square metres total (front and back of door) so 6 square metres to paint it twice
    So you would need about 0.5 litre to paint one door with two coats.

    Thanks mser's
    Limited time today, drive to decorating centre.
    Managed to finish bedroom door -early thoughts look very nice.
    Crown Eggshell White (Metal+Wooden paint(.
    Going to use Most of 2.5 L I think, hoping to leave some for bedroom skirting -though let's see.
    with the kind mentioned calculations -5*.5 is 2.5L exactly?
    I need to be careful.. notice only small missed decent coat from top panel  side of door.
    Plan to continue with Kitchen door tomorrow, the most noticeable paws damage from a visitors dog.
    Seems it's going to be close then, I'll hopefully complete 4 doors tomorrow.
    Skirting can be another weekend and tin if required.

    Apart from Turpentine.
    Any recommendations to remove used paint from Quickstep Laminate flooring/
    Sugar soap did well, need something extra for Entrance to Kitchen.Bedroom and Lvingroom.
    @tizerbelle
    Only managed 1st coat of Crown Eggshell White -lovely paint a lot of work!
    Small roller was recommended by decorating centre, honestly needed a small brush for shaped panel panes.
    Going to use last of 2.5l for bedroom skirting.
    Quick coat on one storage heater.
    Any 2nd coat will need another 2.5l tin over next couple of weekends.
    Thanks.

    Didn't Manage to get 2nd 2.5L Crown Eggshell which was low sheen for 1st coat.
    Did pick up Mid sheen version.
    When 1st door 2nd coat dry's.
    Hopefully Not too shiny, hopefully contours return to view.
    Thanks.

    After seeing a relatives renovation using matt on the woodwork we gave it a go in 2 of our living spaces in 2014
    We really like it, still holding up years later, we used the Dulux Diamond.

    Matt was used in Bedroom walls+Ceiling,
    Was tempted to try on Doors, changed my mind.
    Happy it worked for you.
