Ceiling paint on closet wall
I have to repaint a closet and I have some leftover ceiling paint. Do you think it would look ok on the inside of a closet?

Re: Ceiling paint on closet wall
What makes it ceiling paint as opposed to regular paint? The gloss?
I would think if you are painting the inside of a closet, it really shouldn't matter what type of paint but Im not sure exactly what ceiling paint is.

I'm not sure either 
It's leftover from another room.

Re: Ceiling paint on closet wall
Ceiling paint usually has more of a shimmer to it. My painter recommended it for the closets in our house. He said it makes the closet a little brighter, and it's a nice neutral white, so you don't have to repaint the closets when you repaint the rest of the room.

Ceiling paint scuffs and nicks very easily. It isn't as durable as wall paint and will need to be repainted much sooner.

The painters did this inside my closets and NEVER again. It's a flat paint that scuffs very easily, ITA with the above post.

Re: Ceiling paint on closet wall
IDK... does it matter if the inside of your closets are scuffed? Who sees it but you? And the closets would get scuffed anyway, I'd think??
