        "text": "Interior trim, baseboards, and moldings require more durable, washable paint formulations, typically semi-gloss or satin enamel, compared to wall surfaces. Walls generally receive flat, matte, or eggshell sheens to hide imperfections and diffuse light evenly, whereas trim handles daily scuffs, vacuum bumps, and hand contact. Applying standard wall paint to baseboards or door casings leaves them vulnerable to chipping and difficult to clean. Selecting separate, dedicated coatings for walls and millwork protects high-touch surfaces.",
