    Paint gloss and kind for bathroom
    I am a day away from putting a coat of paint on my half-bathroom walls. These walls were previously wallpapered, which I removed. I prepped the walls with joint compound to smooth and put a coat of primer on them. Can someone recommend a paint for this purpose? I have used the Home Depot Behr brand before and it seems to quite good paint. Perhaps, another brand is better? I would like something with a little gloss for easy clean-up. Thanks in advance.

    Tav glad to here you got it ready. Behr is a good brand I have used it many times. I have also used the Olympic from Lowe's with good results. As far as the shine I like either a gloss or a semi gloss for bathrooms satin is OK as well the less sheen generally the better at hiding imperfections. I have semi gloss in my baths and haven't had any trouble at all. GOOD LUCK, AC
