Painting Wall Panelling
I'm putting up MDF square panel moulding in my living room and plan to paint the wall and panel moulding the same colour. Is it recommended to paint the panel moulding with a different finish to the walls? I.e. walls matte and MDF moulding eggshell/satin If so, would you paint the moulding before installation or once it's put on the wall? Wondering how precise you'd need to be with cutting in between the same colour in different sheens...

Dulux Trade Diamond vs Easycare kitchen
We're getting a new kitchen & have chosen the colour. But, whats the difference between Dulux Trade Diamond Matt & Dulux Easycare Kitchen? We'd prefer to have a matt finish as the new cupboards and tiles are already slightly shiny. I've read the trade diamond can be used in the kitchen & is scrubbable, but does anyone have any experience with it in a kitchen? Also, we're having a wide glass splashback, so oil stains aren't a worry.
