Is satin paint the same as Semi-Gloss?
Satin and semi-gloss paints are similar but subtly different products. As a general rule of thumb Satin is less shiny than semi-gloss as it is generally mixed with a lower content of gloss formula than semi-gloss.
As a result, semi-gloss will therefore be the slightly shinier of the two whereas satin will offer more of a pearlescent finish.
In most cases the glossier the paint the more durable it will be, so modellers for whom durability will be a significant factor in the choice of finish may wish to opt for semi-gloss over satin.
