It depends on the paint and the manufacturer. Some flats have a slight matte-like sheen, however, in a paint line the matte sheen should have a higher sheen than the flat version, but a lower sheen than the eggshell version.

Can you paint gloss over matte?
Always prime first and make sure to key (sand) all surfaces, whether you are priming or not that is VERY important.The rule is: You cannot use water base paints over oil base paint. You may if you prime first. If your matte and your gloss are both water based, you may use the matte. When in doubt, please prime first.AnswerBeing in the painting business for nearly 10 years, the key factor to painting waterbase paint (in any sheen) over oil base paint is to sand, sand, and sand again. A regular primer will not add any adhesion to the surface - you need a high adhesion primer that is either oil or shellac base first, or a waterbase that is made specifically to grip to oil. Of course, I would skip this step entirely simply by sanding thoroughly - and using a waterbase topcoat that is good quality. Ideally you should use a paint that is made to stick to oil, such as General Paint's HP2000 or Dulux Diamond. But priming with a regular waterbase primer will not help to solve this problem and will be a waste of your time and money.

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
