Glossy paint is a type of paint that has a shiny, reflective finish. It is often used for surfaces that require durability and easy cleaning, such as kitchen cabinets, bathrooms, and furniture. The high sheen of glossy paint can enhance the appearance of colors, making them appear more vibrant. This paint is available in various formulations, including oil-based and water-based options. Glossy paint is typically more resistant to stains and moisture compared to matte finishes, making it a popular choice for both interior and exterior applications. However, it may require more preparation and careful application to achieve a smooth finish.
