OK, I've had new plaster done, 50/50 mist coat of Dulux Supermatt and then straight on with F&B Modern Emulsion. The result is great, but I'm not entirely keen on the slight 7% sheen of Modern Emulsion. I have the same colour in 2% sheen Estate Emulsion and was wondering if I can go straight over it in that. I intend to rub back a tiny bit with fine sandpaper, but other than that are there any likely issues doing this? Is Modern Emulsion like a vinyl silk in terms of its components?

So.. I've bought the 'Estate Emulsion' versions of the paint I'm using now, so I'm hoping just sanding the Modern Emulsion I've already painted on the walls will be sufficient and I won't need a primer or anything first to completely cover it up. Anyone have any experience of this?

yes, thanks. I did it, and it worked just fine. Much nicer finish too.
