Best Suede Paint Source as of 2026?

[NHRoadrunner]

I have seen a few vendors mentioned for the correct suede paint. What is the consensus on the right suede textured paint for interior parts nowadays?

I see 8774paint1 has it, as well as Kolor Korrect. Kolor Korrect is about double than 8774paint1. Or there is the Rustoleum (or similar) spray can route. Instrument Specialties appears to still have the original PPG stuff for sale too. What is the best, consistent option?

I am doing two cars. One will use black and one needs B7 blue.

Am I correct that only the dash frame, ash tray, steering column (tube, lower top section, upper top section), and headliner trim piece get this suede on a 1969 Road Runner and Super Bee?

If memory serves me correctly, you are correct about the pieces that get the suede paint. I got mine from Kolor Korrect and couldn’t be happier with the results.

Rustoleum is not good. Not lacquer, not enamel, won't play well with other paints.

PPG makes quality paint that lasts. Two part with a catalyst, rattle cans cannot compete with that.

I agree, I have seen on here people saying how great the Rustoleum comes out, but every time I use it (in general) I am disappointed with the durability.

So, one vote KK and one vote OEM PPG. Let's see what else rolls in!

Went the Inst Specialties route for B7 suede. Good stuff.

Black - perfect match.

I did my 67 R/T and Dart with that. Holds up well. Correct or not I do not know but it looks factory to me and lays on nice.

This is what I used on mine.

Question for the rustoleum users: For the dash application, are you applying it to bare metal or to primer?

From past failures of virgin parts, the OE suede appears to be lacquer applied direct to metal without primer.

On a similar part (exterior part) I had pretty good luck with Rustoleum Textured Metallic paint, but partially because
the part was chromed I used an epoxy primer to try to help adhesion and hopefully a little longer life. So far it is OK.

I did mine over bare metal 3 years ago. So far its holding up great.

Very happy with Hot Rod black.

When I did my dads 67 years ago I think I had it blasted then epoxied. I then used base coat in the color I wanted. I then dry sprayed urethane clear coat over it for the texture. To this day I have no idea how it came out as nice as it did. Uniform finish and still holding up!

I used it on my blue suede shoes in '62. Also good for athletes foot.
Really sorry.
