When I look at my 67 GTX interior it has a glossy black on the doors and what I would call a black satin finish on the dash and steering column. Where can I find the satin black paint?
Also is argent paint available for the console?
TIA
 
The satin finish is called suede. Not sure if it's easily accessible.
The other black is just high gloss paint.
 
You can get the black suede at virtually any Home Depot - and it IS a perfect match !!

A word of advice ... either prime it with black primer OR give it a flat or semi-gloss basecoat. Then shoot the textured. If you just try to get full coverage with the textured it will be too coarse.

In the photo below the top piece is original the other shot with the Rustoleum Textured.

You're fortunate ... it only comes in black !!

That doesn't look nearly dark enough and certainly not smooth enough.
 
Krylon or Duplicolor Satin Black Krylon Dull Aluminum for Argent
 
I used SEM Trim Black on my 66. Some may consider it not textured enough but I was happy with how it turned out. A pillar and top of window trim on a 66 get blacked out unlike a 67

I get it. I was looking for the black suede for the dash. Is that an exterior paint you are showing in the picture. Are we on the same page?

Thanks.
Suede is an interior paint used on dash frames and steering columns.... When fresh it does have a lot of texture to it... Many use satin paint because it looks closer to what 50+ year old suede paint looks like... But if you want it correct suede is correct...

It's an exterior paint but what does it matter ... its the correct "suede" texture if applied properly.

Looked for suede paint for the dash on my 66 Coronet. Quoted $85.00 per pint!. Friend owner of body shop said to just use Krylon barbecue black paint. They've done some beautiful restorations. Took the cheap way out. Couldn't see any difference. Not concourse but works.

Yeah ... that's not even close to the suede finish. But the correct product was as close as your nearest Walmart ...

A light dusting over your existing "barbecue black" would be as dead on as anyone could evr get.

Top is original, lower piece is Rustoleum textured - two coats. Would have been a little better with a single coat over a black base - would have been a little less coarse.

Thing to keep in mind is the coarseness of the finish varied from color to color, in different plants, different models, etc.. That's why there is so much disagreement about the finish.
