Re: What kind of paint for molding??
What type of moulding (crown, base, shoe, chair rail)? What do you have for the rest of the room? (flat, eggshell, satin)
I would probably go a sheen up from the wall. If the wall is flat, go with an eggshell. If the wall is eggshell, go with a semi-gloss.

Re: What kind of paint for molding??
It's the base molding and also the white part of the back of the stairs
Two years ago before we moved in DH painted the house and then we had the floors finished. The people who did the floors were very sloppy and got the finish on the base molding and the back of the stairs so now, finally, DH is going to fix it.
Should we have done the floors first and then painted? I know, pointless now but this was an arguement we had at the time.
