I want to build some casework and floating shelves and want to match the existing cabinet finishes in my recently built home. The builder used Renner Coatings waterborne materials with a 10-Sheen clear finish. It is essentially like a flat or matte final coat.
I did build a number of cabinets and a large media center to match shortly after the house was built but I had to buy 5 gal of each for the stain, sealer and final coat. The materials are expired and I do not want to spend that kind of money again for these new smaller projects. ( I live in a hot desert climate and even with a controlled shop environment, liquid finishes don't last very long [sad])
Can anyone recommend a waterborne clear finish that will produce a 10 or 20 sheen? Thanks for any help you can give me. (Below is a story panel of the finish that I did a few years back showing the low sheen on the right)

Left to right: Stain coat 1, Stain coat 2, Sanding sealer, 10 sheen clear coat. All sprayed with a 3-stage turbine.
