What paint sheen?


I have 4 columns in my home theater that are ready to be painted, the front left and right are on either side of the in wall TV opening that come out roughly 4 inches. What paint sheen should I use or does it even matter.

Satin (pearl), eggshell, semi gloss?

The main walls are matte finish.

Thanks

I'd use flat. It won't reflect the light from the TV and create a glare. Several manufacturers sell a "ceramic" or likewise flat paint that is washable/durable, unlike most flat wall paint. A multi-color textured paint such as Multi-spec or Poly-mix would give the columns more of a natural stone appearance and have a flat finish as well. Most of the multi-color coatings must be spray applied, however.
