Glazing over flat paint
My livingroom, hall and kitchen are painted in a flat paint. Will I be able to apply a glaze over this to give it durability? If so, do I apply the glaze with a roller? as you would with regular paint?
Thank you for the help.

Glazing is usually applied over a satin or semi gloss. For durability, have you considered a water-based polyurethane, in a matte or satin finish?

No, I haven't thought about using a polyurethane. It sounds alot better though. I like the fact that I can get the durability without the shine. How do I apply the polyurethane to the walls? And will it change the color, for example deepen the color?

You apply the poly just like paint, cut-in and roll on. It might change the color slightly, as in deeper or darker, but not much. Make sure it says flat or matte for a no shine result.

Thank You so much for the help. I will try a sample board to find out the color change before applying it to the walls. I am so happy that I will be able to keep the matte finish and get the durability that I am looking for. Again Thank You for the help.
