Emulsion paint on top of gloss?

[Mark]

Hi,

We have painted a bedroom with matt emulsion paint, but there is a wooden batten for the curtain rail, painted in white gloss. SWMBO wishes the batten to blend in. It is OK to overpaint the batten with the emulsion by just sanding or will the paint not 'take'?

TIA, Mark

It will take fine after a bit of sanding.

Thanks. I'll do that.
