It does not have a "flat" no-gloss finish. If you need the no-gloss finish I think you need to add something to the paint?

I thought of this but I was looking for something one step better. I would hate to have this stuff start peeling, chipping, etc once it's installed. Does SEM or someone make something for this?

Both good products that hold up well. Factory correct? - not sure. Some models used a textured paint but the Kyrlon looks fine.

I just had some mixed at my local Painers Supply for a 70 challenger dash and column. It's lacquer paint and the texture they use in my opinion is much greater than the original. Almost feels like sand was in the paint. I'm not really happy with it but I've been wanting to try the forumla for a while to see how it looks. Oh, it was also $100 per quart too. I would look into another formula, I really don't think you will be overly excited if using the original one. Just my .02 When I die I want to go like my Grandfather did, quietly in his sleep. Not screaming like the passengers in his car.

Just my .02 I hear you, it sounds like this paint,9346 different numbers but had the same type of finish. I used it on a shaker. And I have used it on dash frames,but I like 9388 a whole lot more. I love this paint DIA9388 it's the interior black for a 71 challenger. It has no texture and matches exact other OEM dash frames I have laying around. I'm pretty sure everyone would be happy with this black for interiors. It has that look that you can't get out of a spray can. This is the 9346 paint. It's dusty too.

I will not be using the DDL 9324 again, that's for sure. Last edited by efisixpack; 03/24/10 04:45 PM. When I die I want to go like my Grandfather did, quietly in his sleep.
