When you suggest the use of laquer for the proper sheen,   do I just request dull paint ?
Do not know if there are various levels of dull.

Poliurethane paint would give what difference in sheen if I may ask?      Sorry. no experience on paints.


Regarding my question on how to finish the door handle cavity,
Was that paited originaly or some sort of metal treatment?

I suggested lacquer because that is what it was done in originally and has a distinctive look.  I am not all that experienced in spraying paints but I know from doing it myself with lacquer I produced results that I felt looked very close to OEM with really no practice.  I suspect someone that knows paint can put the right amount of flattener, or base clear and do it with urethanes.

Made samples to compare.
Laquer gave a little darker aluminum color.    Think it looks more like the original, we will use it.
Thx for the comment Cudaize.
