As long as they are the same base, ie latex and latex, or oil and oil, then it will not be a problem mixing sheens. Just make sure that you have enough to complete your job with, hopefully, a little touch up paint left because you probably will not be able to match it in the future.

∙ 13y agoIf the two paints are basically the same technical formula, then yes, you can mix them and expect the result to be a little shinier than egg shell.

What is the difference between Lustre Paint and Emulsion Paint?
Emulsion is a type of paint, some call it latex, and it is water based. Emulsion paint comes in several gloss factors (levels).Gloss paint refers to the hardness of the finish and the amount of light reflected from it.The most common gloss factors (from least to most) are:Matte - used for ceilings and areas that do not get touched, or in some cases for the depth of color. This paint can not be washed or cleaned without ruining the finish.Eggshell - used commonly in bedrooms, living rooms and areas where there is a minimum of hand traffic. The color depth and finish are esthetically pleasing and you can wipe fingerprints and mild dirt off without marring the finish.Pearl - this is a relatively new finish that can be used in kitchens, bathrooms and high traffic hallways. Many of my clients use this in children's play rooms. Because the finish is harder you can actually wash these walls to remove dirt.Semi-gloss - This is the traditional finish for trim, and was once used in kitchens and baths because the harder finish was less permeable to water. The hardness factor allows the paint to stand up better to wear and tear and can be washed repeatedly, making it ideal for baseboards, casings, other trim work.Gloss - With the range of gloss factors available today, full gloss paint is most commonly used for furniture these days. The hardness factor makes a nice smooth, durable finish.
Can you mix Dulux Weathershield with ordinary gloss paint?
Yes you can. The weathershield system is just a little more flexible than ordinary gloss paint, which can also be used externally, hence, why you can mix the two. All it will mean is the flexibility will be reduced, but when i paint exteriors i use standard gloss paint, and it lasts for years, as, the longevity is dependent on the preparation beforehand, ie, sanding down, priming bare timbers, and applying a generous layer of undercoat. Ordinary gloss paint, if preparation is done correctly, will last just as long as any weathershield product, and is half the price.

Is there an additive to make flat paint egshell?
If you want to call an equal amount of semi-gloss and additive then yes. Paint starts out as a gloss and is made flat by adding cheaper pigments and flatteners to the mix so that the paint doesn't have as high as a sheen. There's nothing that will remove or offset those flatteners other than adding higher gloss paint to the existing paint.
