High Performance TopCoat Top Tips*
The higher the sheen the harder it is, the lower the sheen the less hardy it is. (that being said, General finishes top coats are still the best around for durability )
If you want a dead matt finish - Flat out Flat would be the one for this look. However over dark colours this may look cloudy due to the amount of matting agent to dull the sheen level.
Flat - does have a low lustre finish so is no a dead flat matt but does look lovely!
Satin - Super hardy ideal for kitchens - Can go to a glossy look if applying 3 coats or more. If you want the hardyness of a satin but a low lustre finish, apply satin first then use Flat over the top.
Higher sheen level on mid to dark colours may slightly change the colour of paint to appear more intense/darker. This is for all satin - gloss topcoats not just general finishes.
