Question: are silk and satin paint the same?
Answer: Satin and Silk are 'mid-sheen' finishes, which means they look like a slightly polished surface and reflect a bit of light. Silk is a finish associated with walls and satin for woodwork. ... Eggshell has less of a sheen than silk or satin and it does look like the surface of an eggshell (the clue's in the name).
