best type of paint for partition wall?

littlemis

is it possible to put gloss paint on a bathroom wall.room is tiny and has 2 stud partition walls which I would like to have something like gloss on so as i can just wipe it down like i do with doors.as these two walls seem to get grubby looking from hands a lot.

I wouldnt advise it. You can get easy clean emulsion now, Id go with that

It'll be very shiny in such a small space. There's no technical reason why you can't put gloss on it, more of a matter of taste. It could be a bit much tbh.

look for eggshell paint if you insist on a gloss type finish

Its has more of a satin type finish but is used on walls and hard wearing

You can use gloss on walls. As mentioned it will be extremly shiny, up to 90% shine. The biggest problem you may have is the prep of the wall. It will have to be faultless, because gloss will show up the smallest of imperfections on a plastered wall. Try and see if a washable wall paint will do the trick first. Plus trying to bring a glossed wall back to emulsion can have it's problems.

Striped Paint looks really well

Or you could just use kitchen and bathroom emulsion paint which is much more wipeable and impervious to dirt stains. It comes in many many shades now
