Vinyl is about as high gloss as you can get I think. Urban prostitutes wear it.

I'm really not sure I want to get involved in this thread, but I'll add my two cents just to try to keep it from derailing.

If you go with a paint (or any product you paint on), you want to be sure your walls are as smooth and flat as possible. Glossy paint will show every bump and irregularity. The reason flat paint is favored for walls is because the flat paint helps to hide imperfections.

I don't thimk the urban prostitutes are going to care all that much.

Maybe but my patience with you has ended. You are not listening to any of the advice given here. I think you need some other help.

paint the walls in a leopard pattern, then buy 4x8 sheets of clear plexiglas and screw it to the walls.
there, problem solved.

it'd be smooth as glass, nothing glossier than that! and if you don't want screws, use clear silicone and glue it! lol
