No, you can dull satin or semi-gloss but not the reverse.
Yes just add an equal amount of Gloss paint to the Flat.
If you have the required satin or semi-gloss base product and pigment, you can.
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.
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.
If you mix a flat and semi-gloss 1:1 you should end up with a paint in the eggshell range. Mix the same paints 1:3 and you should end up with a satin. Experiment with small amounts to get the desired gloss.
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.
Exteriors typically call for flat or satin and semi-gloss on trim.

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.
Flat paints are not recommended for doors, door frames or window frames as they mark easily. Satin or gloss paints are recommended for these areas, but flat paint should be fine for other areas.
I used a White since it goes with everything
