Thanks for all the responses. Thought I would share what I have found out from some other sites.
It seems that the paint texture type used was called a suede finish. The closest matching types available would be to use John Deere Blitz Black or "Hot Rod Flatz" black. Both are a satin/semi gloss texture. Hot Rod Flatz is a urethane and John Deere is an enamel. The John Deere is made for tractors and is supposed to be extremely durable, it's also less expensive.

I see that Nicks Classic Parts is a dealer for the Ultimate Rides Dash Pads. Anyone have any experience with UR pads?
