Ceiling paint on stairs?

Can I use flat ceiling paint on my stairs?

On the treads? Flat paint will look dirty and worn out pretty quick if you walk on it.

Not only will it wear if walked on, it will feel completely wrong. My brother once got free flat paint and painted a chair with it. You couldn't sit on it, felt like sandpaper. I would not suggest it.


No it will wear out and be filthy the 1st time you step on it.

Ceiling paint works well on ceilings because people do not touch ceilings on a regular basis.You need to use the paint made for each specific surface. Benjamin Moore is the best paint brand.And Paint Pourri has "mistake" cans at half the price.
