  • Correct Interior Paint Finish??

    Can anyone shed some light on the correct interior paint finish. Flat, Satan, Semi Gloss, or Gloss? I am ready to paint the interior and this question has come up. Thanks

    It wasn't flat and it wasn't gloss, nor was it evil; somewhere between satin and semi-gloss. You don't want too much sun reflecting off the dash.

                Dunno what your painting, but what I did was add 10% Flattening Agent to the paint. Takes the gloss off and gives a satin finish. Ask your paint dealer.

                As for color, mine has that beige (55 Coupe) which I had to have match mixed. Make sure you get enough paint - you can go through a lot paint all those dumb trim pieces.
