In the past, when painting a prop (like an old chair) white, I'd use a flat white paint, figuring that a glossy white (or any other "glossy" color) would be too reflective. What do others use when painting or repainting props? Do you always use a "flat" paint, or might a semi-glossy paint add a little bit of sheen/lustre without it being too reflective under studio lights? Anyone have some experience with this?
