If you want to turn your satin paint into flat wall paint simply mix one to one. One gallon of flat to each gallon of satin. The flat wall paint will obliterate any sheen the satin once had.
Yes
No, because eggshell paint is intended only for indoor use, like kitchens or bathrooms. For exteriors, use paint with a satin finish.
There are different kinds of satin paint - you'd have to know if it was latex, oil, enamel, alkyd etc.
Polyester satin is mainly durable, which makes it a good fabric for things such as a waistcoat etc.. Its also shiny which is highly regarded in the fashion industry for dresses and evening wear... That's all i know.. i hope its of help
Add a little talcum powder to the paint.
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.
Silk is generally softer, unless it is slubbed silk, which is meant to be rough.
No, you can dull satin or semi-gloss but not the reverse.
If you have the satin, you can add flat paint and take some of the sheen off. This would have to be done before application. It will never be a true flat though.
yes
It will not mix.
