Can you mix satin paint and semi gloss paint and if you do will it give a dusty finish?
you can mix paint of different sheen levels provided they are of the same vehicle or base (i.e.. water based, oil based. Mixing a satin with a semi-gloss will still be reasonably close to an "eggshell" finish. The best way to know is to use the chart below and add the 2 sheen level percentages together and divide by 2.For example a low sheen (satin) is 20% sheen + Semi-Gloss which is lets say 50%20+50=70 divided by 2 = average sheen of 35% giving you an eggshell finish.Flat (1-9% gloss)Low Sheen (10-25% gloss)Eggshell (26-40% gloss)Semi Gloss (41-69% gloss)Gloss (70-89% gloss)

Can satin finish paint be used on top of eggshell paint?
Yes, as long as the surface is free of dirt, wax and grease, and the eggshell and satin are both the same type, ie latex or oil, then you should have no trouble at all painting a satin sheen paint over an eggshell. Also, if the base is water based and the topcoat is oil, that will work fine too.
