Looking to paint wood inside the new wood parts say black non gloss.do I use car paint or house paint.
Neither -- start with a wood primer and then get good flat acrylic enamel.
Since your doing black you should consider having the paint store add black tint to the primer so scratches don't show up.
If the area is small and you can mask the adjacent areas you don't want black you can use a rattle can for the final coats.
used POR-15 on my floorboards and firewall. It sticks incredibly well and looks good. No primer or prep was used. It is, however, a gloss finish.

Por 15 also comes in flat, you may need to ask to have it special ordered.

Kenny, all the Australian bodies I have had experience with had never been primed. To duplicate the black finish with which they appeared to be stained, I mix 1 part ordinary gloss brushing enamel and 1 part mineral turpentine. It is not much more than a stain, it is really thin and soaks in well, it is messy to use as it can run all over the place, but it dries to an almost exact match for the original finish, not too thick and not too glossy.
Hope this helps.

I agree with Allen R B. I heavily thin Rustoleum myself. More like a stain, it really soaks in.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
Hi folks.
Yes Allen is rite Half turps and half black paint, mix well and paint on .I have just finished doing the wooden frame work on my 1929 Rover weymann body with it,works really well.

The cars I have dome by soaking in two heavy coats of linseed oil and painting with satin black or semi-glass black enamuel have always come out nice and lasted well.
I like to use ZeroRust black or Rustoleum with about 25% mineral spirits.
If you put linseed oil in the paint it makes it shine too much
.
I'm with Alan, l did the same with my wood frame, flat black with mineral turps to thin it out.
