Painting Over Semi Gloss Paint. Semi - gloss paint is popular for its beautiful shine and for the fact that it's very easy to wipe clean. This ability to wipe clean can be a hindrance, however, when it comes time to repaint the walls. Simply put, paint will not stick well to glossy paint , and will end up streaky or flaky. Also, how do you cover semi gloss paint? Rough up the gloss on your semi-gloss paint.
Wipe walls with a tack cloth after sanding. Paint on a coat of good primer, and allow to dry. Or, skip the primer and paint two coats of medium-grade or better flat paint if that is easier or cheaper. Since smooth, glossy surfaces don't hold paint well, you 'll need to dull the gloss finish before repainting.
No matter which type of paint you plan to use over the semi - gloss , you should sand and prime the surface. This process smooths out imperfections and ensures maximum adhesion of the new paint. If you look at eggshell paint , it's surface is not sharp and craggy but undulating.
That is, any latex paint will stick well to eggshell latex paint even without scuffing or using a primer simply because the eggshell paint has a larger surface area per square foot than a semi - gloss or gloss paint. If you want to update semi - gloss painted walls but don't want to sand and prime; or, if lead-based semi - gloss walls prevents you from sanding, it is possible to paint over semi - gloss walls with a satin-based paint without sanding or priming. Always leave a window open or use a fan for ventilation.
Clean the wall first by removing any dirt with a damp rag and allowing it to dry before continuing. If there are any cracks or holes, spread the spackling compound over them and allow it to dry. You can now start sanding. Keep going in one direction until the shine is gone. Vacuum the dust when you are finished and clean the walls again with another damp rag.
Experts recommend rolling one coat of primer onto the wall. You can use Kilz primer over semigloss for good results. Using the paint roller and roller pan, roll one coat of the primer onto your wall. Start at the top and use a paintbrush to fill in around the edges and trim. Once the primer has dried, you can start with the new paint. Recoat as needed after each coat has time to dry completely. In between coats, I use plastic wrap and a sandwich bag to store my roller and brush. It will stay wet for weeks stored this way!
Now I have painted one more small piece of the house, and the pantry door is ready for some wood spice racks! As long as it will still turn out well, I like to keep things as simple as possible! I obsessively researched and talked with several pros after our crazy cracked, peeling paint situation…so if you are dealing with alligatoring walls or peeling paint, I FEEL your pain!

A paint with a satin finish gives off a luxurious appearance especially on interior walls.
But unlike most glossy paints, satin paint does a better job hiding surface imperfections than other paint types. If your interior wall is painted with a semi-gloss finish and want to paint it over with satin, the most usual method is to sand it before painting it. You know that a semi-gloss paint is very smooth, offers a considerable sheen, and resists moisture. All you have to do is to sand the wall gently, applying very little pressure over the entire surface.
After sanding, use a wiping cloth or tack cloth to wipe off the dust. Use a rag to apply the solution on the walls to clean them.
