I used satin from them as well. I'm very happy with the decision thus far.

Maintenance wise I find satin and gloss finishes a lot easier to clean than most flat finishes.

Check skygeek. Some of their quarts are $34.99. I bought one qt and shipping was scheduled for a month but took a week.

I have a creme colored, glossy interior other than the panel and glareshield, which are black.

If I was doing it again, I'd use a satin paint in a medium or dark color - I get reflections from the creme colored canopy rails that are a problem when I try to take pictures through the canopy.

I used satin hammered finish on mine, I like it and is easy to clean using damp cloth.

Default Seems pretty clear ...

...that satin is the finish of choice. I used satin after talking to a number of people and looking at RV interiors for 3 or 4 years. Gloss risks unwanted reflections, and flat finishes get shiny spots over time from the oil on your fingers and look not-so-nifty. I am 100% pleased with my satin finish and would do the same again in a heartbeat.
