It will not mix.
No and yes it depends
If you mix a flat and semi-gloss 1:1 you should end up with a paint in the eggshell range. Mix the same paints 1:3 and you should end up with a satin. Experiment with small amounts to get the desired gloss.
Yes you can. The weathershield system is just a little more flexible than ordinary gloss paint, which can also be used externally, hence, why you can mix the two. All it will mean is the flexibility will be reduced, but when i paint exteriors i use standard gloss paint, and it lasts for years, as, the longevity is dependent on the preparation beforehand, ie, sanding down, priming bare timbers, and applying a generous layer of undercoat. Ordinary gloss paint, if preparation is done correctly, will last just as long as any weathershield product, and is half the price.
If you want to call an equal amount of semi-gloss and additive then yes. Paint starts out as a gloss and is made flat by adding cheaper pigments and flatteners to the mix so that the paint doesn't have as high as a sheen. There's nothing that will remove or offset those flatteners other than adding higher gloss paint to the existing paint.

Sure you can!it will work just fine

you can mix paint of different sheen levels provided they are of the same vehicle or base (i.e.. water based, oil based. Mixing a satin with a semi-gloss will still be reasonably close to an "eggshell" finish. The best way to know is to use the chart below and add the 2 sheen level percentages together and divide by 2.For example a low sheen (satin) is 20% sheen + Semi-Gloss which is lets say 50%20+50=70 divided by 2 = average sheen of 35% giving you an eggshell finish.Flat (1-9% gloss)Low Sheen (10-25% gloss)Eggshell (26-40% gloss)Semi Gloss (41-69% gloss)Gloss (70-89% gloss)
Yes, you can
Because it does not mix well.
the paint was used on pressure treated plywood.the first coat was mixed and applied as per instructions.the second coat came from a damaged/dented can but was mixed the same way the first one was.how to get the resin to to dry???
