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?
thanks allAnything to make a gloss paint finish matt/flat?
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

How do you get gloss paint off your clothes?
You don't! Well, if you are really speedy and immediately rinse the spill with water, you might get some of it out. But paint is very difficult to remove from fabric, especially if it isn't water based, like most gloss paints. If it's been washed and dried in the machine, it's pretty much set into the fabric. Maybe you can stitch an applique over the painted area, or more fun--paint an actual design using the paint splat area! Maybe there needs to be a lady bug or something right there on your clothes?
Sorry this happened, but it's part of living a creative life, to have evidense of your creativity on your clothes!How do you get gloss paint off your clothes?

Runs form using gloss paint?
I painted my hall banister with gloss and there is loads of runs on it.. how do i get rid of them? is it only sandpaper i use.. is there anything else that is easier lol.. do i just sand the runs or will i have to sand all of the gloss off?Runs form using gloss paint?
Well, you've gotten a lot of good suggestions. If you're in a hurry, though, I would get a razor blade and remove the gummy runs so the remainder will dry faster, then sand to get the smooth finish. Any time you paint, you have to continuously go back and reinspect the work you have just done, and catch the runs before they start to set. You will find the results much more satisfactory if you do your quality control before the paint dries. If you do that, your repairs will be flawless!Runs form using gloss paint?
the paint is to runny. you probably put to much on brush. less is defiantly more lots of thin coats rather than one thick coat. if it is old paint on banister. then you really should strip back to wood. but if the runs are from your work then a power mouse sander should do. with various grades of paper..
first of all, you will need to wait for the runs to dry - depending on the thickness of the runs, it will take ages and ages for the run to dry and harden enough to sand down without clogging the paper
4 thin coats are far better than 2 thick!
Sand it back again, only this time when you paint , go back an hour later and touch in again where the runs start...
Its a common problem on spindles....Dont put too much on this time either...
I agree with everyone above...also, make sure you are using the right applicators. (should say on the back of the can)
Why didn't you catch the runs while you were painting?
Anyway, yes, sand just the runs off and repaint. Be careful this time.
~*~-You will have to sand them off and repaint the areas you sand. Next time use very thin coats instead of thick coats to avoid runs.
Horrible job sanding gloss paint, try non drip gloss next time, not completely non drip, but much easier to handle.sexy hair

I painted my kitchen with a latex based semi-gloss paint about 3 months ago. Why does it?
Why does it smell like wet paint when it is humid outside. Any other time the paint smell is gone?????I painted my kitchen with a latex based semi-gloss paint about 3 months ago. Why does it?
Do you keep your windows closed? I find with latex paint it absorbs moisture and scents.I painted my kitchen with a latex based semi-gloss paint about 3 months ago. Why does it?
Was it a cheaper paint? if so that might have something to do with it. You might want to get in touch with the manufacturer.

How can i get white gloss paint off a leather suite?? will white spirit be ok, many thanks?
Use a steamer but don't let the paint melt too much or it will just spread. Heat just enough to soften and you should then be able to lift or roll it off. Be carefull with any spirit as it could damage the colour or the leather. Meths is probably the best one to try after the steamer has removed most of it.How can i get white gloss paint off a leather suite?? will white spirit be ok, many thanks?
Nail polish removerHow can i get white gloss paint off a leather suite?? will white spirit be ok, many thanks?
I used nail varnish remover on mine and it took the top layer p off the leather and made it worse,try ringing a furniture shop. They will at least tell you what not to put on it.
Why dont u paint the entire suite white ? giving the illusion u have brought a new one to all your friends.
depends how long it has been on .if still soft try putting baby oil on cotton bud not turps/cleaners/nail remover.after use leathercleaner in circular motions
please don't try nail varnish remover it will take the colour out of the leather. have a look in the telephone directory for a leather cleaning specialist and ring them for advice just to be on the safe side.
I've used a product called Goofoff to remove dried paint from a cotton shirt. I had to rub and rub and then launder, but it worked quite well. I don't know how it would work with leather.
ring up someone like dfs ask their advise make out you got the suite from them
try soapy water first then try the white spirits
Not really as it can stain leather. You need to get some leather cleaner - Furniture shops or Halfords would stock this.

Can you gloss paint over old gloss paint?
i am decorating the bathroom and i need to gloss paint the skirting boards. Do I need to do anything to the skirting boards first?Can you gloss paint over old gloss paint?
Lightly sand them first to rough the surface.You will get a better bond that way.Can you gloss paint over old gloss paint?
Rub down with glass paper so that the surface is no longer glossy. Apply one coat of white undercoat and when dry paint a coat of gloss. For a great finish rub this gloss coat down when dry and give a second coat of gloss. If you use one coat paint then still do a second coat after rubbing down the first coat. Leave for at least 2 days before using the bathroom so that the surface hardens.
You can gloss straight on gloss with just rubbing down the surface first, but it is poor painting practice. The new gloss needs an undercoat which is a softer paint and acts as a buffer for knocks and like an anti-slip mat between the hard shiny old and new gloss. Also if you only gloss on gloss the next time you come to paint and you try to rub it down it will probably peel and roll off. I would only do one gloss on an interior.
In short yes you can. Painting is all about preparation and with the right preparation you can definately paint gloss paint over gloss paint.

If they are in good condition you can apply gloss but you will have to give them a good sanding down first so that the new paint has a good key. Alternatively...You can give them a sanding and a coat of undercoat which will make it an easier to gloss onto....good luck Fred
You are supposed to be able to with the paint now. I find though that if the old paint is yellowing you have to give it 2 coats anyway. It never looks as well as if I give it an undercoat first.
to do a good job the answer is no rub the gloss work down and then use an undercoat then you can gloss the paintwork after the undercoat is dry
good luck
you can brush a coat of wil-bond on it...it eliminates the need for sanding and will help the top coat bond better...
the least you will have to do is rub it down with glass paper to give the paint something to key to
Depends how fussy you are.I always painted over the old gloss if it was sound
degrease it with a spirit ..then off you go you might as well....99%of world does
