I purchased several 5 gallon buckets of exterior satin latex to paint my
wood siding house, after putting some on, I now realize I should have
used flat since the wood is original (70~ years old) and the satin seems
to highlight every imperfection in the siding.

I inquired with several paint stores about making the paint flat, and
they said it could not be done. I noticed some talk in here recently
about making
gloss stain flat using some sort of flattening agent, would something
like this also work with paint?

You know, I'd ignore the people at the paint store's advice at my own
risk if I were you. You're unlikely to find people who know more
about paint by addressing the question to a random group of people on
the internet.


OK, for now on I will just take the word of a store employee who may or
may not know what they are talking about. It's not like anyone here knows
anything about anything.

I don't know why I even bother reading this NG, I should just learn from
the best. Home Depot employees!

Thanks for the advice!

Home Depot isn't a paint store. But one who speaks for the BORG should
know
this.


semantics.
