- Contemplat­e what paint finish you want as well, as it’ll determine how light reflects off your colour and therefore the overall outcome. Adaptable and durable Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen and Resene SpaceCote Flat (tinted with our chosen shades) appear in this image, guided not only by aesthetics, but also lifestyle. Low-sheen finishes such as these are versatile as their lack of shine doesn’t highlight dings — although you wouldn’t want to use them for a pale door, say, as they’re not so forgiving of dirty fingerprin­ts. Love a more matte finish, like Resene Karen Walker Chalk Colour? It’ll diffuse even more light to conceal imperfecti­ons. The previous page incorporat­es the gloss finish of Resene Enamacryl, or go for semigloss Resene Lustacryl. Both reflect lots of light and are stain-resistant and easy-clean — a plus when you’re working with whites.
