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.
No, you can dull satin or semi-gloss but not the reverse.
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.

Satin paint is generally better for cement patios compared to flat paint. Satin finishes offer more durability, making them better suited to withstand outdoor elements and foot traffic. Additionally, satin paint is easier to clean and resists stains more effectively than flat paint, which can absorb moisture and dirt. Ultimately, for a patio, satin is preferable for both aesthetics and longevity.

You typically do not need primer when painting satin paint over existing satin paint, provided the surface is clean, in good condition, and the colors are similar. However, if the existing paint is in poor condition or if you're making a significant color change, using a primer can help ensure better adhesion and coverage. Always clean the surface before painting to achieve the best results.
