Can you paint a semi gloss oil straight after you paint high gloss oil?

No it will cause streaks or will result in bubbles of paint where it doesn't stick. You will need to sand down the surface and wash it down so there is no residue first. Then, the other paint should adhere okay.

∙ 12y agoYes! A clean, dry, flat surface is perfect to paint over with any sheen.
It is a good idea to wash the surface with a cleaner, such as TSP (Trisodium Phosphate) before painting. Let the suface dry atleast 4 hours, then apply your paint.
However, Make sure you don't do the reverse. Flat paint will not adhere to semi gloss without priming and/or sanding!

∙ 12y agoDo you mean can you paint over a fresh coat of oil base high gloss paint with oil base semi gloss paint? If so, not straight after. Be sure to wait until the first coat (high gloss) is dry completely. The same goes for nearly every coating when you are changing the type of finish.

∙ 16y agoYes, if you lightly sand the shiney surfaces to give the old paint "tooth" ( gripping surface) to adhere to.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes, as long as the surface is clean and you've dulled the surface by either sanding or applying a deglossing agent.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoSure. But a light scuffing of the old semi-gloss surface with fine sandpaper is a good idea first.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoAs long as they are both the same "type" of paint (ie. Latex, acrylic, oil)
Wiki User

What is the difference from base paint and semi gloss latex paint?
Base paint is also known as flat paint, or flat wall paint, or matt paint and is a latex paint. Flat paint is just that, flat or dull with no sheen at all. Semi-gloss is an enamel that dries very hard and can be found in a low sheen (satin) a medium sheen (semi-gloss) and a high sheen (high gloss) Flat paint is usually used on walls and ceilings where as semi-gloss is used in kitchens, bathrooms, doors an jambs because it helps hold back the inherent moisture in those areas.
Is semi gloss paint okay for a bedroom?
At one time paint only came in a limited gloss range, flat, semi-gloss and high-gloss. The higher the gloss factor the harder the paint... the harder the paint the more washable it is. People used to only use high gloss or semi-gloss in kitchens and bathrooms so they could keep the rooms cleaner. These days, with the availability of a wider selection of gloss finishes and the tendency for people to paint more frequently, it is no long essential to use semi-gloss in your kitchen. I have been using a pearl luster paint successfully in kitchen for more than ten years with very good results.

What is the best type of paint for crown moulding Flat Semi-Gloss Satin etc?
Generally, a satin or semi-gloss sheen is best for decorative trim. The shinier paint will be a bit easier to apply, be smoother after application and will accent the crown molding. I always paint crown, doors, door trim, and baseboards in high gloss. Here in the south we also use only one color, white. I also use ceiling paint as the primer coat because I paint it (the crown moulding) when I paint the ceiling. Then I apply 1 coat of high gloss on the crown. Then I paint the last coat that has been thinned a little with water (2 tablespoons per cup of paint) This goes on very fast and smoothe and when finished looks like wet vanilla ice cream. When you paint high gloss, be advised that you have to keep a wet leading edge, meaning that if you stop painting and the paint is allowed to dry, it will show where you stopped and then restarted. The same is true for semi gloss and satin.

Is there a such thing as washable spray paint?
Well yes. Any good paint that is labeled "satin" or "semi-gloss" is nicely washable. Of course, high gloss enamel is highly washable, but I do not think that is what you are after. The semi gloss is especially appropriate for children's rooms because of it's tough wear.
