Can you mix vinyl silk paint with matt emulsion?

I've a large pot of white emulsion and several pots of vinyl silk paint which I'd like to mix together in order to use up the paint.Can you mix vinyl silk paint with matt emulsion?
Paint is either oil or water based. look on the cans. If it says thin the paint and wash brushes with water then it is water based. If it says thin the paint and clean brushes with white spirit, then it is oil-based. Most of the time you can mix two water-based paints together or two oil-based paints together, but you can never mix oil and water paints. (though you can paint with them on top of each other).Can you mix vinyl silk paint with matt emulsion?
Yes you can as long as they are all vinyl based. Mix them thoroughly, you need to mix them with a something like a large pallet knife or preferably a mixing head fitted to an electric drill.
