Scuff-X® Outperforms the Competition
The second example is Benjamin Moore Scuff-X, which noticeably has the best performance against scuffing—showing the barely-there scuff marks disappearing after cleaning with soap and water.
Scuff-x by Benjamin Moore is probably the best Matte paint you can buy for this purpose.
The clear coat is a type of paint that is applied to walls to provide a protective barrier against scratches, scuffs, and dirt. It is typically applied in a thin layer and dries to a hard, glossy finish. It is designed to be flexible and resilient so it can resist everyday wear and tear.
Benjamin Moore scuff x is what you are looking for. It's very durable, mid range price and it's easy to clean of scuff marks and dirt.
Flat. Flat paints have the least amount of gloss so they help conceal surface imperfections better than other finishes and are ideal for walls that are rough or dented. They also touch-up better, which makes a flat paint an ideal choice for family rooms, living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms.
One of the most popular types of wall paint, eggshell finish provides a low sheen and a soft, smooth finish just like a true eggshell. Perfect for low- to mid-traffic areas like hallways, living rooms, entryways and family rooms.
SCUFF-X® is a revolutionary, single component paint engineered to resist scuffing in the most demanding high traffic commercial settings, making it ideal for schools hallways, hospital waiting areas, retail fitting rooms, hotels lobbies, leisure facilities and corporate spaces.
Overall, the Sherwin-Williams and Ben Moore scuff paints performed the best. Behr Scuff Defense was no defense at all against scuffing. It was the cheapest in cost, but had no defense against scuffing.
Epoxy. Epoxy is a tough, quick drying, protective coating that contains excellent strength properties capable of enduring exposure to large, coarse, fine particle abrasion.
Of the two, satin is more durable and is slightly less likely to scuff or mark than eggshell and it's easier to clean when it does get marked. This makes it a better choice, especially for woodwork such as painting skirting boards, than eggshell for high traffic areas like hallways and living rooms.
Dulux Trade Scuffshield Matt is a tough, water-based Matt emulsion paint that contains ultimate scuff-resistant technology. It is designed to protect walls against scuff marks being left behind from items such as shoes and bags, to help keep walls looking good for longer.
Gloss and Semi-Gloss coatings typically are more easily cleaned than Flat or Satin coatings reducing the need to aggressively scrub the surface.

SCUFF DEFENSE is a 100% acrylic paint & primer with stain-blocking formula featuring breakthrough innovation to deliver a rich flat finish that is truly durable enough for high-traffic areas.
A flat finish does a better job hiding surface imperfections, but has a reputation for being prone to scuffing. Scuff-resistant paint solves the problem. It ensures that surfaces in high traffic areas—like hallways where kids drag their hands along the wall—will stay looking good long after the paint dries.

This revolutionary paint delivers on all of your painting needs. It's our most stain repellent, scuff resistant, fast-drying, one-coat coverage paint & primer◊, ever.
Fortunately, you do not have to remove the entire layer of clear coat to repaint your car. If your car has a clear coat, simply scuff the area you want to paint. This promotes better paint adhesion, allowing you to successfully repaint your vehicle without the hassle of removing the automotive clear coating.
The Ultra Spec SCUFF-X formula was designed to deliver long-lasting scuff resistance. This is why it is the best type of paint for high-traffic areas. Another option to use in high traffic areas is Sherwin William's Scuff Tuff with a similar protective coating to reduce damages, scratches and scuff marks.
Both can work, but acrylic paint's elasticity and resistance to wear and tear make it better for high-touch areas and furniture. Latex paint works well for larger indoor projects where low toxicity and easy cleanup with a brush are priorities.
2 coats of BEHR ULTRA™ SCUFF DEFENSE™ Interior Stain-Blocking Paint & Primer in One is the minimum required for new or uncoated surfaces. (Note: First coat acts as the primer and subsequent coats provide the final appearance and performance.)
Eggshell finish, perennially popular with professional and DIY painters alike, has a low-sheen reminiscent of flat or matte, but it is infinitely more durable than its namesake.
