So we could decide how to paint all our doors, we painted one in one coat gloss, one in satin - very little difference in the sheen, although the quality of the finish was much better with satin being was so much thinner paint.
Having painted 4 out of 5 doors, when the last one was painted, the satin sheen result was very different (I'd say 50% between matt and gloss - which was what I would have expected satin to be!). All painted with the same tin of paint, same type of door, same surface etc etc.
So, my question is, why did the first 4 doors all come out almost like gloss?
We're happy with the end result of these, but they don't match the newly painted one (which I view as 'proper' satin)
And to follow up, what's the best way of rescuing the last door - would thinning the one coat gloss and painting be the best approach, or getting something like liquid gloss be a way to save the day (and make all the doors look the same)?
