Satin paint ok in the bathroom?

[CluelessDIYer1]

I just had a thought & i best ask it now else i'll forget...

The wife has started sanding, priming & painting the bathroom cabinet. Personally i like the light oak colour but she was insistent on white.

She's hit it with Crown solvent based undercoat & then crown non drip satin on top.

It dawned on me earlier though - is this such a good idea?

Reason i ask is, you get kitchen & bathroom paint. I'm guessing because of the condensation & such. So if painting this cabinet, should it be painted with some bathroom-specific paint because the satin will react in X-time to come, or is the satin perfectly fine for the bathroom?


EDIT: Why can't i say she's hit it, as in she has hit it?? And why is it grouping it together as 1 word so it's swearing when it's spaced out in my edit?

I have never had trouble with satin in a bathroom, unless it's in an area that gets splashed all the time and almost any paint will fail in that situation.
Doors skitings etc should be no problem.

The kitchen and bathroom paints are emulsion paints for walls and ceilings, not trim paints (for woodwork) and are gimmicks, essentially.

Satinwood is fine for cabinets wherever they are.
