The simple answer is no. You can mix the paint and use it, it would work just fine however it would not be a satin finish. I have done this several times to paint furniture and walls.Can I mix one quart latex flat paint with one quart latex semi-gloss paint to get 2 quarts satin finish?
Yes. They are compatible. You might not get exactly a satin finish though. Best to try it out and let it dry in an inconspicuous area first.
Sure ,, just try a small batch ,and see how you like it..
The semi gloss isn't that glossy and it depends where and what you are painting like if you want to clean the surface semi you can wet spong it and wipe. If your not goingto touch it then go for it.
