Great question! As it is not a requirement to sand between coats when painting, to ensure the best possible finish and leave your customer happy, I would most definitely recommend it. A light sand using 220 sand paper will give you good adhesion on your top coat of gloss as well as knock down any dust or debris that has made its way into your finish. Remember only a light sanding is needed, so don't go making a mess, and always make sure you use a damp cloth to wipe up all of the sanding dust. Good luck, and Happy Painting.

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)
Can an oil based top coat be used over a water based undercoat?
Yes in some cases. In my fine wood finishes, I routinely use water soluble dyes under solvent finishes. For home interior trim woodwork I often apply either water based or oil based primer under oil paint top coat with equal results. In either case, the water based product must be extremely dry before they are covered with solvent top coats.
