Which has the highest sheen, Leyland Satinwood or Dulux Eggshell ? I don't like a very shiny surface.

Cheers.

If you go for the quick drying variety, Derek, both are quite low on sheen.

Thanks Ken. I much prefer oil based paint.
I thnk Satinwood is the glossier of the two but I don't want to get it wrong and waste money !

They're both about the same. Eggshell maybe slightly more shiney.

Satinwood looks a lot shiny when putting on, but after drying will look good. Quick drying is rubbish in my view.

Eggshell is the flattest of the three finishes, then Satin, then Gloss

Thanks to you all for your helpful answers.

I would imagine that satin is shinier than eggshell. Compare an egg with a bit of satin.
