Can you mix semi gloss latex paint and satin latex paint together?

i bought a whole lot of paints at lowes,that was marked down to like $2 and $4 a gallon,because it was premixed colors,that were custom colors and someone dint pay for so they marked it down.any ways i didnt think to look at the finish,all looked at was that it was latex and made sure it was colors that might look good mixed together.so if i can what will it do?will it just make the semi gloss less glossy or what?or can i not mix them?Can you mix semi gloss latex paint and satin latex paint together?
yes,you can mix the 2 together as long as they are both latex.the sheen will be a little duller than regular semi gloss!at the paint plants they almost all start as a gloss and they add chemicals to them to dull them down to others,like flat,semigloss ,etc.Can you mix semi gloss latex paint and satin latex paint together?
yeah, bro- as long as they're both latex you can mix them.
I've mixed paints before. I mixed satin %26amp; flat %26amp; ended up with an eggshell finish. I imagine you'll end up with a slightly less shiny semi gloss.
yes. just cant mix oil and latex
