Restoring a 1930s front door with an oval leaded light.
Just wondered what finish most people think looks best for this period of door.
1)A Satin/Matt finish, which is ment to hide imperfections better and is apparently looks classier at the moment?!.
....or....
2) A high gloss finish, which may also look very nice if done well, is ment to be more hard wearing (can anyone explain why this is the case?), although may show up imperfections more, and some say can make the door look cheap and plasticky.
I was looking to use the Sikkens range of exterior paints, they seem to have a good following.
