| I usually hang out in the kitchen forum, but thought I would get the experts' advice here regarding a paint change. We are changing colors in our great room/kitchen (from BM Yorkshire tan to Revere Pewter, if that helps). The current tan color and new Revere Pewter appear to be approximately the same darkness level/depth in the space (not sure I'm wording this correctly, but they don't appear to be vastly different iykwim). However, we are going from a shinier "pearl" sheen to an eggshell finish. I have never primed previously painted walls with BM paints, just cleaned and applied 2 coats with no problems. Wondering whether switching sheens will require priming? Many thanks in advance. |

| It's not really necessary to prime, but you may need to apply two coats. |

| I would run over it with a pole sander with 100 grit, first but as paintguy said, no priming needed in this case. |

| Great, thanks to you both for answering |

| How about you just use an abrasive pad, Scotchbrite-type, when you wash it. That should rough it up a little. |
