Using high-gloss paint over imperfections

Question

Does a high gloss paint product show imperfections on a surface? Is there any ways around this or will I just need to use another type of product instead?

If you prepare the surface properly you can use any paint you want just make sure is suitable for that kind of surface and it is 4 inside or outside depends where you want to use it

Hi,

If you are unsure, before painting, follow these steps, 

Rub the surface all over with a low grit sandpaper if any section feels rough. Sand until blended and smooth.

Get a primer & undercoat of your choice and colour, stir and apply first .

Then apply your gloss or eggshell paint.

Note make sure you stir the paint properly

This will look great after these process

If you do touch ups then yes it will show . You would be best covering the whole surface again

Unfortunately gloss paint, silk, will show imperfections on the wall and ceiling, I advise you to use a matte paint

Graham · Answer

Because of its high reflection, gloss paint can highlight surface imperfections. High gloss paints have the highest reflective appearance.
I would suggest prepping the surface pre glossing

Mark · Answer

if you try sanding and filling any imperfections, and apply spot priming to the imperfecting areas, lightly sand imperfections again, and then apply a eggshell finish paint, oil based being ideal due to the opacity, hope this helps

Brian · Answer

It will show up slightly more, best to fill in prior to painting for best results

Stuart · Answer

You need to do preparation on the surface you are painting sanding and filling the imperfections, a gloss finish will lite them were as a Matt finish will hide them some watt
