I don't think they can sell it on it's own, but if you take your paint can into Home Depot they can do it for you . -I've had it done in my local HD.
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.
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.
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.
Many would say that a semi-gloss, flat or satin finish would be best for a houses exterior. The semi-gloss is suppose to be the easiest to clean later on. The flat or satin finish paints, do not have reflective shine when dry.
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 change gloss paint into flat paint by mixing it with a flat paint medium or additive specifically designed to reduce sheen. This will alter the gloss level while maintaining color. However, it's important to note that the final finish may not have the same texture or durability as a true flat paint. Always conduct a test on a small area first to ensure satisfactory results.

No, baking powder will not convert gloss paint into flat paint. While it may affect the texture or consistency of the paint, it won't alter the inherent sheen. To achieve a flat finish, it's best to use a specifically formulated flat paint or a flattening agent designed for that purpose.
I don't agree that it is best for flat paint on houses. This is harder to clean than semi gloss and adds nothing to the finish,
Can I paint semi gloss over flat paint? Thanks!Barbara Phillips
The different types of paint finish types available for interior walls are flat/matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss. Each finish has its own level of sheen and durability, with flat/matte being the least shiny and high-gloss being the most reflective.
