Hey Van, I used SEM on the bee. Painted the plastic and the steering column with it. I've used SEM in a spray bomb and also custom mixed in the can. If you apply it with a detail gun you won't be sorry. it flows great. SEM makes a surface prep for plastic surfaces. For metal you can shoot it right over primer. SEM makes primer in a spray bomb too. the sheen looks really nice. I'm don't know if it's accurate but it's a like an egg shell to semi gloss look. The stuff flows like a dream and is really tough. Buy yourself a can of the black interior paint and play around with it.
I’m listening.

See factory service manual, page 12-9 here: http://www.mymopar.com/index.php?pid=109It is a bit misleading in that the interior uses both some exterior paint and some non-exterior paint. Just know that some exterior paint is used in the interior. All the parts are listed for each gloss.

Do you just want it to look nice and finished or do you want it to look factory original. If just nice all the paints listed will work. If you want it original, only one paint will work. Very hard to come by but the difference is visable. Here is the original suede laquer paint used by the factory on the dash and steering column.

I use sem in the spray can unless it's an all out resto. I used a can on a 69 gtx that still had the original dash paint, while touching it up, it's almost an exact match.

PPG DP90 in my AAR as recommended by Batalson. Looks awesome.
