Interior Paint, Gloss or Semi-Gloss

Alright so the original gloss back then was probably somewhere between today's gloss and Semi-Gloss paints?

The suede finish isn't just a smooth flat color, it has a texture to it?

Eastwood has a black textured powder coat it isn't as rough as black wrinkle paint. I wonder how close that would be to the suede finish. Take a look at the picture of the diamond plate, is that to rough for the factory swede finish?

Hotcoat Powder Black Texture
Powder coat finishes on lots of items that matches the suede finish/texture perfectly. The tubing under my old computer desk is a good example.
I have to assume those products were sprayed and oven cured. I don't know about DIY products that achieve the same. No experience with those. I wasn't so particular. I used SEMs Landau Black and dry sprayed the final coat to get a similar texture/finish. The positive is the column, column door, dash vents, all match perfectly.
