Yes, depending on the mix ratio, you will end up with an eggshell or satin finish.
Many hotels that use paint use satin or semi-gloss latex paint in their interior applications.
Satin or a matte finish would look good in this area.
Use a Exterior Latex Satin paint......You can spray on or use a zip roller low nap! You will need a brush to cut in where roller cant get.
In most cases, satin is used on interior walls.
Yes, but the finish will be somewhere around satin. You can only do this if the paints are of the same type, i.e. either both latex, or both enamel (alkyd). Make sure you mix them together very well, and continue to agitate while you're painting.Post edit: They may mix and go on alright, but interior and exterior paints are, however, formulated to have different properties. Exterior paint actually may not hold up as well indoors (Bob Vila). Most importantly, though, chemicals used in exterior paints outgas and are harmful for indoor use. Try some of the new low-VOC interior paints. They are much better for your health.
The difference between satin and brushed nickel is that brushed nickel has a soft, matte finish. Satin nickel has a shinier gloss. Caring for satin nickel is more of a delicate process.
There are different kinds of satin paint - you'd have to know if it was latex, oil, enamel, alkyd etc.
Bob Vila's website rated interior paints as okay, better, and best. He rated flat as best and satin as better. Flat was especially recommended for ceilings. For trim work, satin was rated better and flat was unrated. http://www.bobvila.com/HowTo_Library/Selecting_the_Right_Paint_Sheen-Painting-A1951.html
None, no Matte or Satin Finish proofs were struck at the Denver Mint. Only at the Philadelphia Mint.

The best paint to use is a semi-gloss, EXTERIOR latex house paint. Yes, exterior. The reason is that exterior house paint has fungicides added at the time of manufacture to prevent mold and mildew growth on the outside of your house. Since your bathroom happens to be a warm, wet environment perfect for the growth of these same life forms, exterior paint is perfect for bathrooms. It is a little more expensive than interior paint, but worth it in the long run.Exterior paint has chemicals unsafe and unhealthy specially for enclosed or small rooms like a bathroom, they are specific for exterior use. there are excellent interior paint specifically design for bathrooms and kitchens that are durable and already come with mildewcides. Or you can try Kilz primer, with anti mildew and fungus chemicals and paint with semi-gloss enamel paint. You may also use semi-gloss latex based which will give you decent results.You can use an interior latex paint and have your retailer add "mildew inhibitor" to it. It comes in a small rectangular package and is usually sitting right in front of you at the check-out counter. There is an up-charge for it but it's minimal. The paint finish should be nothing less than eggshell, satin is better. Also, there are paints manufactured just for bathrooms (the inhibitor is already in the paint). I would not suggest using melamine or exterior paint for this project.Use Kitchen and Bath paint, which has mold inhibitors in it like exterior paint, but will dry like interior paint. It's also got a unique sheen to it that is easy to clean.Do not use exterior paint! You need to get a paint that is mildew and mold and moisture resistant. Go to Sherwin-Williams and ask for either Bath Paint which comes in a satin or semi-gloss finish. Or your best bet is Duration Home which is all of the above and comes in Matte, Satin and semi-gloss and can be made in thousands of colors.
