How can I transform glossy paint into a matte finish?

Do you need primer to paint satin paint over satin paint?
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.

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 I paint over acrylic paint with gouache?
Yes, you can paint over acrylic paint with gouache, as gouache is water-based and can adhere to acrylic surfaces. However, for the best results, ensure that the acrylic paint is fully dry before applying gouache. Keep in mind that gouache is more opaque and may not adhere as well to glossy finishes, so consider using a matte medium or a light sanding on the acrylic surface if needed.

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.
How can you dull the finish of gloss paint to make it look like satin or eggshell?
To dull the finish of gloss paint and achieve a satin or eggshell appearance, you can lightly sand the surface using fine-grit sandpaper (around 220 grit). Be sure to sand evenly to avoid creating uneven patches. Alternatively, you can apply a matte or satin finish clear coat over the gloss paint, which will reduce its shine while preserving the underlying color. Always clean the surface before applying any additional product for the best results.
Can you paint over a satin paint and then use a tea stain glaze on top?
