    As in emulsion? No it won't last, if you want a matt finish with wood use an eggshell paint. You should use an undercoat as well before using eggshell and a light sand with some fine sandpaper between coats.

    Well if it covers it up well enough then it will do. I'm doing skirting atm the same way, sand - bin - undercoat - sand - undercoat - sand - eggshell. Its a lot of work but its working out well for me.
