How do change a gallon of semi gloss paint to satin.
Color is perfect just too shiny!
Chances are it was repainted without being properly primed. Strip or sand paint off and start over.
The original gloss should have been sanded and primed. I'm guessing it wasn't. If I had this problem, I would try sanding the entire area and trying to feather in where there were marks from missing paint. If I couldn't get all of the marks and unevenness out, I'd use some type of filler to fill them in the sand them smooth. Not it's ready to basically start over. Use a good primer like Kilz or Zinsser and when that's dry, use a new gloss paint to finish the project. Depending on what it is, it could also be a good idea to use a coat of poly just to seal everything in. Wishing you the best.
Yep it's a goner. Have to start over.
Depending on how much and what this can be a hard lesson to learn. Even using primer that advertises you don't have to sand will always yield better results if you clean and do something to kill the gloss.
Use paint remover and then undercoat and then topcoat. You did not give it a key to grip on to.......
