There's a colour I want to use, available in either matt or silk.  I really
want a soft sheen finish - has anyone tried mixing matt and silk together to
get a finish somewhere between the two?

Thanks for any replies,
Richard

Not tried that, how about eggshell as an alternative. Dulux trade quick
drying eggshell is a hard wearing alternative between matt & silk and is
available to any colour mix.
