No.





Always use a semi-gloss paint.





Flat paints are worthless.Do flat paints come in an oil base?
Yes, you can still get a flat alkyd based paint. Sherwin-Williams carries them. But your problem with water based paints seems to be your biggest set back. If you are attempting to cover a s-gloss oil based paint, there are a few rules you should follow. The first is that a water based will not adhere to oil base without first priming it. The second is that you need to soften the semi-gloss before putting on ANY paint. I usually use a liquid sander to accomplish this, put on my primer, then coat with what I want to use. Another thing about flat paint is that it is not really washable. With a flat water based paint, you may want to apply a coat of matte clear aycrilic over your flat, to help improve this setback.
any acrilic water baswed paint will do'it, if you want to go to


100% , use a primer before the acrilic.
