Default Interior Paint Gloss

Specific question for those who used a high gloss paint finish inside the cockpit; any regrets due to reflection off the inside of the canopy?

The canopy decks and rollbar on my -6 are a glossy cream color. The reflection in the canopy is noticable on bright days. If I was doing it over, I'd use a darker color - maybe grey.

For what it is worth, my glare shield is flat black and has never caused a reflection.

Our interior is Airbus Gray - I pinched a bit of trim while taking a leak at work

We got it matched and added 30% flatting agent.

Worked really well - has a sheen but not a high gloss
