Yes.

Clean if well. Use a wire wheel to rub off any rusty loose paint.

Go to a paint store (not a big box). MAB makes a primer called SuperBond. It will bond to the finish. Paint the are with the primer. You now have a surface that will take any kind of paint.

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.


How do you make a semi gloss paint shinier?

Add Flat Paint to the Semi Gloss (SG). As a general rule, using commercial "production" grade paint. If you want "Satin" and have SG. you could add 1/3 of a Gal flat, tinted to the same color. If you want SG and have full Gloss Paint, Add 1/3 of a Gal Flat, tinted the same color. The reverse is N O T true. If you want full gloss and have Flat, it won't work in my experience. Experiment on your own. Just remember its easier to tone down gloss than to add it. This is assuming the paint is still liquid. If it is already on the walls, and you want to avoid repainting. A "Matte" finish Clear Coat could be sprayed over the whole wall, But to do it "right" you would want to repaint

The only way to make a paint colour lighter is to add white paint to it. The amount will depend on how dark the starting paint colour is, how pale you want to make it. But usually it make a lot of white paint to noticeably lighten up a paint colour.
