Anything to make a gloss paint finish matt/flat?

is there any liquid or substance that when poured or rubbed on a glossy finish would get rid of the sheen and reflective surface and leave the surface flatt matt?

Clean first then cover with an eggshell finish paint, particularly hard wearing. If you must use an oil based coating you could also mix undercoat with gloss paint, to the level of sheen you want. Even before ';woodsheen'; paints were available, the trade , including myself, used undercoat/gloss mixes to cover better and reduce the gloss effect. Sanding may produce spots/patches where the base material is exposed on ';high'; areas. Am interested to know why you aren't just covering with matt emulsion? :-)Anything to make a gloss paint finish matt/flat?
Rubbing alcohol on it will do it and/or a real fine sander. You don't say if it's wood, metal, plaster, etc.





Depending on the size of the job I'd just paint over it with a matt finish if it really matters. I personally prefer gloss finishes as they look nicer for longer %26amp; reflect more light.
gloss will always be gloss but if you use one of them small foam rollers it will change the finish to one that is more matt
If the area is small you can use a spray can of clear sealer . they come in different gloss levels and can be applied easily without repainting. If the area is large try using a brush and /or roller and apply polycrylics by minwax they have various sheen levels also. check cans for compatibility and also test small area first.
Yeah you have to use a satin finish gloss instead, it's the same as gloss but without the shine. It'll be kept next to the normal gloss in any DIY shop
Lightly sand with fine grit sandpaper and apply a satin/eggshell finish
yes take the tin of gloss back and change it for matt
