With a different colour eggshell.

As eggshell has a sheen to it, is it best to flat it off a little with some, say, 400?

This particular wall is bright yellow and the new colour is to be magnolia, I trust a grey undercoat is reccomended?

I did do a search but there is so much info, I thought I would re ask :D

Thanks all:cool:

Hi
Just give it a rub down using 120 grade that should be fine. No need for undercoat if it's eggshell on top of eggshell.
 
You could give it an oil based undercoat first if you want to blot out the strong yellow if you think it could lead to a third coat (its cheaper to use undercoat then eggshell) otherwise two eggshells
