Reply to "Painting clear finish over both flat and semi gloss"

"I'm not asking if the colors will retain their original sheen, side the satin will obviously govern. Just wondering if there will be a difference in final appearance at all between the two. Trying to maintain a very subtle two-tone looking finish."

Theoretically once the clear-coat is applied the sheen will be consistent. In practice this is sometimes true and sometimes not, at least within the scope of my typical overcoat number - 2, 3 or 4. Past that I can't say. There can be subtle physical and even chemical interplay between two different original finishes and the clear overspray, it seems. Do it with patience and moderate coats; just don't be surprised if some sheen differences are persistent. It's usually slight, if apparent at all. 

(As W.C. Fields used to say: "if it first you don't succeed, try, try again. After that, give up - no use being a d**n fool about it".)
