Paint - mixing silk & matt emulsion?

Mar 12, 2005 3 Replies

There's a colour I want to use, available in either matt or silk. I really want a soft sheen finish - has anyone tried mixing matt and silk together to get a finish somewhere between the two?



Thanks for any replies, Richard

Not tried that, how about eggshell as an alternative. Dulux trade quick drying eggshell is a hard wearing alternative between matt & silk and is available to any colour mix.
