I'm just about to order some enamel paint from Paragon to touch up my lathe, but which sheen, I think I can discount the gloss and matt so that leaves semi gloss or satin, does anyone know what the original was or what is the difference between the semi gloss and satin in regards to durability and stain resistance etc.
