Hi
I have just found the perfect colour for a room. Problem is that the paint is only available in matt finish. Is there a varnish I could use over the top to seal it - going to be used in a kitchen.

Thanks

If the matte finish paint is Swerwin's Cashmere, or Ben Moore's Regal Matte, both of these are washable. If you would prefer a better sealed finish, topcoat with water-based poly, either in flat, satin, or semigloss.
