This may seem like a dumb question but I could use some advice. I bought several gallons of very good quality paint from a well-known decorating/renovating store because it was cheap - a discontinued color on sale. It is a flat or subtle velvet interior latex. I didn't realize how un-washable it would be. I applied two coats over new sheetrock and it became obvious that I should prime first. But I don't believe priming will enhance the washability - it might just keep the paint from seeming so chaulky. After this dried, I experimented with a coat of clear (supposedly non-yellowing) water-based poly. Voila! Instant satin paint effect! The price of the gallon of the poly offsets any savings I might have enjoyed buying paint. Does anyone have a better idea or an additive or glaze that might get the results I'm seeking? Thanks!

We have a park model (small mobile home) and the cuboards are in need of some TLC, but I do not know how to paint them. The framework is made of fiber board with a photo paper over it to make you think it is wood. What do I have to do to paint the framework? We are putting on new doors that will be painted also.
