Prep required for Dark Flat paint over Beige Eggshell Paint?

4 years ago

Media room walls are currently painted in off-white/beige paint in eggshell finish. We are thinking of painting over it in a darker shade in Flat finish to fix the reflection issue that the current sheen causes. What kind of prep is required for this project? Do i need primer or sanding the current paint is enough for flat paint to adhere well?
