Question Summary
I am painting my kitchen cabinets and am using 2 different colors.my question is: the white paint is semi-gloss and the green is satin finish, is there something I can add to the green to make it semi-gloss also?Or something I can apply as a top coat to make it semi-gloss?Both paints are latex base. And to be honest I thought it was semi-gloss when I purchased the white and started with the white, the green paint I've had a year as I did not have a Sherwin Williams store in my area my daughter got it in the bay area for me.Answer Summary
Or are you using some existing paint that you already had?Looking forward to your response,Josh Hi,Thanks for your reply. Your best bet would be to take the paint you have to a local paint store in your area and have them match it in a semi-gloss sheen. They can also get the formula off the can and make their version of it for you.

VerifiedHi,
Thank you for your question.
Is the green not available in the semi-gloss sheen? Or are you using some existing paint that you already had?
Looking forward to your response,
Josh
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Your best bet would be to take the paint you have to a local paint store in your area and have them match it in a semi-gloss sheen. This will save you a lot of time with minimum expense. With todays technology they are able to correctly match almost any color you bring into them. They can also get the formula off the can and make their version of it for you.
I hope this answer is helpful and feel free to ask any additional questions.
Good luck with your project and thanks,
Josh
