Can satin finish paint be used on top of eggshell paint?
Yes, as long as the surface is free of dirt, wax and grease, and the eggshell and satin are both the same type, ie latex or oil, then you should have no trouble at all painting a satin sheen paint over an eggshell. Also, if the base is water based and the topcoat is oil, that will work fine too.
Do you need a special product to cover eggshell before painting over it with flat paint?
Egg shells (used in many craft projects) are quite porous, and will give your paint an excellent ground. Remember however a flat paint will not be very durable (it should not be washed or cleaned) so consider a clear top coat in what ever gloss factor you like. If however if you are asking about the paint finish called eggshell (one having the ability to be gently washed) then it will depend on the age of the "eggshell" paint, the composition of the two (eggshell & flat) paints and the colour of the "eggshell". If the "eggshell" is older than a year, latex or acrylic based and a light colour, then a good washing with TSP or some other gloss remover, and going over it with one or two coats of a good quality flat latex, oil or acrylic paint should do the trick. Oil paint can be directly applied over latex, acrylic or oil... Latex can be directly applied over latex or acrylic but not oil... Acrylic can be directly applied over latex or acrylic but not over oil. If the "eggshell" is less than a year old, oil based or a deep colour, then a good quality primer coat will make the job go much smoother. (Note- use an oil based primer if the "eggshell" is oil based, you can then top coat with any paint formula)
How do you decide to use eggshell or flat paint?
The difference between flat and eggshell is a very simple but important one. Flat paint is not washable is should only be used on surfaces that do not get touched... ceilings are the best place to use flat paint. Eggshell paint has the ability to be wiped, using a soft cloth and a very mild soap. This makes it perfect for the walls in a bedroom, a dining room or a living room. I have used eggshell throughout in homes that do not have children as adults tend not to get smudges and prints on their walls.
