I'm getting ready to paint my dash, upper and lower. Are they the same gloss level ?? This is on my 69, Thanks, Mike

Mike,

I got my interior paint formulations from the PPG Librarian for my '68 so it might not relate exactly to your '69, but both of my interior paints are flat. Flat to reduce glare at the dash.

I'll try to find the phone number if you want. She was very informative.

On a '69 the finish should be flat between the pad and windshield, and semi-gloss below the pad.

They call it 0% gloss on the upper dash and 60% for the rest of the painted interior metal pieces. I just put a lot of flattening agent in the upper dash paint.
