As thedec states I have jumped the gun a bit here in regards to thinking you were just using the soft sheen over previously painted surfaces. If this is the case then my advice is valid! If using as a mist then watered down about 25-30% but I would advise on using a non vinyl matt emulsion for the mist coat, dulux supermatt would be my choice for the mist!
Whilst we are on the subject of the possible application of a vinyl paint as a mist, then on the proviso that the skim is dry it is in the norm acceptable to apply such a system, again on the proviso that it is thinned no more than 15%.

Elrobbo, why do you advise a non vinyl paint as a mist over a skim?
