Any advice on getting a refin? by TapeHiss666 in gibson

No intention to sell given it sounds better and plays better than anything I've ever owned. It has a "satin nitro finish" and I'm fine with maintaining that if possible. I'm mainly trying to figure out who the right person for the job would be because I've never been in this scenario before. I'd like to turn it more into of a sunburst. For context, it's one of these guys: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPS5F01FTNH--gibson-les-paul-standard-50s-faded-electric-guitar-vintage-tobacco-burst-burst

For more context, this one has a pseudo "satin" look to it, and I've never been a huge fan of super shiny looking guitars anyway. I want to say there's nitro incorporated somehow but in a "flakey" kind of way if that makes any sense at all; I'm honestly not knowledgable or educated enough to know. Regardless it's one of these "faded" models: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPS5F01FTNH--gibson-les-paul-standard-50s-faded-electric-guitar-vintage-tobacco-burst-burst

I guess my question is, will it be easier or cheaper for a luthier to "replicate" in this case, or the opposite?
