Sanborne Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone, I have been busy building the Beacon Hill dollhouse. This is my first build. I have a question regarding paint for the inside and outside of the beacon Hill. I bought Benjamin Moore eggshell finish paint that I have been using on the inside of the house. My question is someone bought me Benjamin Moore paint for one of the rooms inside the house and for the outside of the house with a pearl finish and I was wondering if an eggshell finish is better especially for the outside of the house. Ant thoughts? Thank you all in advance. Edited July 29, 2021 by fov Renamed thread to be more descriptive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Flat or eggshell finishes are best for painting miniature houses; finishes that have any sort of glare or shine are not in scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khadi Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I like to use acrylic gloss paint for ceilings or because it reflects the light and makes the rooms brighter. I also use it for trim work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
