What is a good paint finish to use for when youre painting a mural?

I'm painting a mural. It's not a smooth wall, it's a school wall which means it concrete painted over. what's a good paint to use...semi gloss...egg shell or flat? please send sources too!What is a good paint finish to use for when youre painting a mural?
First, find out if the wall paint is oil-based or latex. Ask a custodian. If it is oil based, you'll need to use oil paint. If it's latex, use an acrylic paint...it's easy to clean up.





In a school setting, I think a semi-gloss would be best...or even a high gloss.





Any hardware store or art supply store will have everything you'll need.
