Default paint for interior

Im repainting the inside of my 67 Tempest sport coupe(black).
There are varying degrees of gloss everywhere.
Old days I would use lacquer and a flattening agent to achieve the proper
level of gloss.
How is it done with todays paints?
Just for a note I dont use any waterborne paints,only solvent based

You can still buy lacquer. I used rattle cans of lacquer on my GTO's dash metal and door trim. To get the gloss I wanted I just buffed it to the degree I needed. Buff less for semi gloss. More for shiney.

thanks but rattle cans isnt my style.
Im leaning more towards a newer paint thats more durable.
perhaps someone makes a urethane that can be mixed to the right gloss.

I used "rattle cans" on my car and it has lasted fine for 20 years now!

Go to your local paint shop who supply’s the collision shops, I just had some interior paint mixed to a part I brought in, they got me the correct reducer and I bought a prevail sprayer if my buddy has no time to spray it. I don’t use rattle cans,
The paint I had mixed has the correct sheen on it as well. It’s only an ash tray so I may spray it myself. The prevail sprayer has a cap, so you can save the mixed paint left over for a later use.
