PPG suede on some stuff. Most powder-coaters have something that looks the same as most finishes.

It should be a flat finish on top. You can apply a matting clear over the base coat. I used a matte clear on the top portion, and high gloss on the rest.

I've also seen Chrysler Low Gloss Black engine enamel by Dupli-Color used on the dash top and it looks good.

I used a matting clear on this GTX dash as well. You can sort of see it in this pic.

It's called Suede. Some guys were finding it a few years ago - probably from PPG. I used PPG semi- flattened lacquer and sprayed it somewhat dry to provide a faux suede finish.

All I can tell you is that I tried semi gloss non-auto enamel (custom matched at the paint store) for a car and three kinds of rattle can enamels before I figured out that those were not hard enough.
I wound up using PPG auto acrylic enamel with a little hardener and it turned out good.

If you get it powder coated, you can choose a "leatherette" finish in any color you want. It holds up better than paint too if the prep is done properly.

The PPG lacquer dash paint has a suede additive. I know, I sell it.

Is that DX1999 ?

Why can noone make the suede additive to go in urethane paint? or try it in urethane?

No reply necessary, I think that I know the answer.
But I'll add some whine.
Why can't PPG make acrylic enamels anymore?
They have a new store close to me.

If you are on a budget, I just did mine with Krylon Colormaxx Acrylic latex and its very flat. $9 at Lowes. HVLP 1.8MM tip, water clean up.

An option.

I just ordered a quart of acrylic laquer Jewel Black suede (Mopar 9324) from TPC Global. $156/qt. I will reply with the results after using. Tech support claims its mixed to the original formula.
