Know before you buy
Yes, the Regal Select formula is designed as a paint and primer in one. It works well for most standard interior surfaces, though you should still use a dedicated primer if you are covering dark colors, raw drywall, or surfaces with significant stains.
While flat finishes are excellent at hiding wall imperfections, they are generally less scrubbable than higher-sheen paints. However, this specific formula is engineered to be more durable and washable than traditional flat paints, making it a practical choice for ceilings and low-traffic walls.
Because this is a flat finish, it is best suited for living rooms, bedrooms, or ceilings. For areas prone to high moisture or frequent cleaning like bathrooms and kitchens, a semi-gloss or satin finish is typically recommended for better moisture resistance.
Absolutely. The flat finish is ideal for ceilings because it minimizes light reflection, which helps mask minor surface irregularities and tape joints.
Use a soft, damp cloth or a non-abrasive sponge with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as these can burnish or alter the appearance of the flat finish.
