inside coop paint, semi-gloss or flat?

[greenguys]

is semi-gloss paint better for the coop interior because of the cleanup factor? Or, are they both just as hard to clean!?

gloss to make cleaning easier

thanks. I used to be an interior painter many years ago. So...I guess that means I'll be painting it all in flat first (to prime it) then going back with the semi-gloss a couple of times.

I read somewhere that white keeps it cooler in the summer?

thanks.

White will certainly brighten it up and make it feel more open. The semi-gloss will be significantly easier to clean than flat. Methinks that flat paint is really hard to wash down. Also, I like to use oil-based primer when working with raw wood, but to each his own.
