Clear primer.
Can you mix satin finish paint with eggshell finish paint?
More important is, that both paints are of the same kind (like: oil-based paint, acrylic paint, latex paint). Semi-gloss is more easily painted over then high gloss, but first better find out what the old paint layer is made of. Check with the help of alcohol - if paint comes off in any way when you rub it with a cloth of alcohol, it's latex or acrylic paint (and can be painted over with acrylics).

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.
Can you paint over a satin paint and then use a tea stain glaze on top?
Yes, that would work as a painting technique.
How do you dull a shiny painted surface?
To dull a shiny painted surface, you can lightly sand it with fine-grit sandpaper to create a matte finish. Alternatively, you can apply a matte or satin topcoat over the shiny surface to reduce its glossiness.
Why would dry latex paint wipe off walls with water?
Dry latex paint can sometimes be reactivated with water because latex paint is water-based. When water is applied, it softens the paint's surface, making it easier to wipe off. This is especially common with matte or flat finishes that have not been properly cured.
Can satin finish paint be used on top of eggshell paint?
Yes, as long as the surface is free of dirt, wax and grease, and the eggshell and satin are both the same type, ie latex or oil, then you should have no trouble at all painting a satin sheen paint over an eggshell. Also, if the base is water based and the topcoat is oil, that will work fine too.
