I just used the aerosol and I think its a little too glossy so Im leaning towards going with the gun and some flattner. Man it never ends! Im gonna have enough crap sitting on the shelf to do at least one more car!

I used the Landau Black and its got more gloss than the original unpainted parts. I also have a new set of the dash parts from B,E&A for the gauges, radio and above the glove box. the new parts are really flat and I didnt want to be too glossy next to them. I did hit one of the test pieces with the low luster clear and it knocked some of the gloss out of the Landau Black but still seems too glossy. Just wondering if the flattner would help me out?

Trim Black is for exterior "black" plastic trim, should be fine for interior as well...if you like the low lustre gloss finish
