Can I paint semi gloss over flat paint? Thanks!Barbara Phillips
No, you can dull satin or semi-gloss but not the reverse.
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.
yes you can, prep it first light rub down and apply two coats of the flat paint.
Yes, it will.
Yes. You can paint semi-gloss latex paint over flat latex paint. It is not advised to paint over any latex with any oil-based paint. Nor is it advised to try and paint over semi-gloss paint with any other finish without first de-glossing the finish and priming.
Yes. You'll want to ensure that the surface is clean and gloss free prior to applying the flat topcoat.
sorry to be the barrier of bad news, but the only way is to but a semi gloss paint. or try playing around with different glazes.
Satin is lower gloss than semi-gloss paint. Paint finishes in order of decreasing gloss are: * Gloss * Semi-gloss * Satin/Low sheen * Flat Some manufacturers call Satin/Low sheen finish Eggshell, and others regard this as a finish between Satin/Low sheen and Flat paint. The higher the gloss finish the easier it is to clean, the higher its durabillity and the more it shows surface imperfections.
Your best bet is to phone your local Home Depot or Lowes, and ask someone who works in the Paint Department!
As long as you find that aesthetically pleasing, I don't see why not.
