That would depend on what type of auto paint. With base coat on most brands, the drying time is controlled by which solvent you use to thin the paint.
With acrylic enamel it's drying time is controlled with solvent and a hardener.
No, because then it will lose it's hardness.
If you want to call an equal amount of semi-gloss and additive then yes. Paint starts out as a gloss and is made flat by adding cheaper pigments and flatteners to the mix so that the paint doesn't have as high as a sheen. There's nothing that will remove or offset those flatteners other than adding higher gloss paint to the existing paint.
I don't think they can sell it on it's own, but if you take your paint can into Home Depot they can do it for you . -I've had it done in my local HD.
Many other companies make a a comparable paint. Ask for there top or second line of high gloss acrylic and you should be satisfied.
The only way to make a paint colour lighter is to add white paint to it. The amount will depend on how dark the starting paint colour is, how pale you want to make it. But usually it make a lot of white paint to noticeably lighten up a paint colour.
A gloss glaze is a glaze that potters tend to put over underglazes to give it a glossy finish. Gloss Glazes tend to look pink before fired but due to the chemical processing in the Kiln, dry clear.

If you have the required satin or semi-gloss base product and pigment, you can.

Well I learned from experience NOT to use house paint, I would say Acrylic paint or spray paint. Make sure to use gloss!
If you have children who tend to make a mess on walls, any indoor house paint that is a semi-gloss or gloss finish is good. Look for a paint that advertises itself as scrubbable.

Your best bet is to phone your local Home Depot or Lowes, and ask someone who works in the Paint Department!
sorry to be the barrier of bad news, but the only way is to but a semi gloss paint. or try playing around with different glazes.
Make sure you get a pot of stretchy paint incase it's a really big garage. And shrinky gloss if it's a small one.
yes you can by using chrome polish but if you use on a car it wont come out good i only used it on my bike it was matte and now it is high gloss
Doesn't the amount of varnish in the paint make the difference?
