I recommend everyone look closely at their dash parts. Especially at the back sides and hidden areas before stripping the paint. Most B and E body dashes are definitley textured suede. BUT! I have several A bodies in my personal collection and have restored many Over the last 25 years and for some reason, some A bodies used regular flat lacquer that is not textured. My own 71 Demon 340 black dash is not textured yet the 69 Barracuda I'm doing is textured black.
