Do you have to sand and prime satin latex paint to paint over with an eggshell latex paint or can you just paint it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, Eggshell and Satin are very similar. Though i would recommend scuffing the walls with a sanding block or sandpaper to help with adhesion . Also current and new colors will make a difference, you may need to use primer if applying a lighter color over a darker one or if there are excessive stains on the walls.

How do you turn satin paint into flat paint?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I prefer to paint all walls and ceilings satin. I have no idea why people just automatically think that ceilings have to be flat...or even white. I do satin on the ceilings because of dust, yes dust does stick to the ceilings, esp near AC vents and around ceiling fans. Have you ever tried to sweep your flat white ceiling to get the dust off after a few years? It just smears. I think satin ceilings make small rooms brighter and larger. You must use satin or semi on the ceiling in the bathrooms, a bathroom environment is the one interior space that is actually most like an outdoor space with water splashing, steam, humidity, extreme temp changes, I wonder if it would be best to use exterior paint in the bathroom. For ceilings though I pick a white with a bit of grey and go all satin.

What color shoes should you wear with a chocolate brown satin dress with a gold sash?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would go with gold shoes to match the gold sash, or if you aren't into buying the gold shoes (won't wear them again) a similar color to the brown dress, say a shade lighter. Darker would work if you don't like to draw attention to your feet, but women's feet are generally prettier than they think they are.

Is satin sustainable?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Satin is a method (or technique) of weaving not an object and cannot be sustainable or unsustainable. The cloth produced by tis method is shiny and attractive. However, some people refer to the cloth made by this method as satin as well (in the same way French fried potatoes are called "French Fries"). In that case, Satin can be a cloth made of silk, nylon, or polyester and the sustainable nature of the natural fibre sources (silk) are evident while the unsustainable nature of the petrochemical sources are just as evident.

Can you mix semi gloss paint and satin paint?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, it will give you a finish between the two. Just remember it you need to touch up a spot down the road, you are going to have a hard time, unless you make the exact mixture again, that's why it is better not to try mixing different paints together.

Its hard enough getting the color to match even when you have a paint code to follow.

What the different between satin and semi gloss?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What is the difference between oil based varnish and oil based satin varnish?

Asked by Wiki User

Matt paint will give a room a chalky look. It hides imperfections and is easy to touch up. It is not easy to clean though. This finish is better for ceilings. Gloss paint gives a lacquered look. It is the most durable and easy to clean.

How do you paint flat not latex over satin latex paint?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, you can. The whole problem with flat paint over satin is the gloss sheen bleeding through the flat finish. I typically do one of two things for a customer when they have this situation: Either I just plan on two coats of the new paint, or I paint the walls with cheap flat white paint and then paint the top coat with the new paint. I prefer the latter, as I always have buckets of cheap flat white leftover, which saves some cash, as the top coat is usually about $30 per gallon.

Can you mix satin finish paint with eggshell finish paint?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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 rock dash stucco?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

YES, but first remove any loose or flaking paint then make sure the surface is clean and free of dirt, then you must apply a bonding agent (glue) a.k.a. concrete bonding adhesive, this can be done just like painting with a paint roller. MAKE SURE YOU COVER ENTIRE AREA WITH ADHESIVE BECAUSE IF YOU MISS A SPOT YOUR FRESH COAT OF STUCCO WILL LIKELY CHIP OR FLAKE OFF!

Yes as long as you use the same base paint. You just need to sand it enough to where the paint will adhere. Make sure if the original paint is latex, use latex. If its oil based, use oil based.

What are the benefits of satin combed yarn sheets?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most people think that satin and silk more or less look the same, why we choose the satin one? Because they are rough on one side and smooth and shiny on the other side,and it is easier to maintain.

During winter, this material warms up, letting you have a peaceful and comfortable night. It does not only keep you warm in winter, but also a perfect material for summer nights. Satin refreshes your skin and rescues it from warmth and humidity. A Satin Combed Yarn 100% Cotton Sheet Set surely provides a luxurious feeling with continued use.

Using satin pillowcases and 100% Cotton Sheet Set will help maintain hair's moisture, which in turn makes it easier to preserve your hairstyle, and saves the trouble of rear ranging and untangling it when you wake up the next day. Using satin pillowcases avoid dry and damaged hair, as satin has proven itself as a good agent for reducing hair breakage.
