What paint should I use for sponging?

Paint for Sponging, What to Choose

Sponging - which paint for which surfaces?

Latex is ideal for sponging walls. In kitchens and bathrooms, where condensation and washability are a concern, I recommend kitchen and bath paint, or a semi-gloss latex.

For small items such as furniture, woodwork, pots etc, you can use latex or a premium alkyd (oil) paint.
