Howdy there:
I read a couple things here and figured this is good place to find and share some information. I am helping my brother-in-law get his 1967 Coronet back on the road after sitting in his garage for over 30 years. (The car that is) He helped me restore my 1968 Rally Sport back in 78-79 and its finally payback time. I'm the paint and body guy and he is the mechanic fabricator.

It hadn't been moved until about six weeks ago and has had its share of challenges, but it is rolling along nicely (after a transmission adjustment that cured the slipping in 3rd gear). The dash came apart trying to diagnose the fuel gauge not working and right now I have the instrument surround and glove box door at my house. My mission was to touch up the areas that at some point must have looked like chrome.
While I'm at it, I want to repaint the inside of the glove box door. I am stumped because the manual indicates the inside AND outside of the glove box door are painted with the same "Suede Finish" paint, but the inside of this door is painted with something that feels like fine sand paper and has a flat sheen.
Technically speaking, the real inside surface of the plastic door is not painted at all. It is mostly covered by a metal panel that has recesses for 4 drink containers, supports the door latch, holds the maintenance record card and screws to the door hinges. That is the paint I am looking for!
It can not possibly be the same paint as the outside door (see picture).
The gloss and low-gloss interior paints listed in the service manual (no picture here) are not shown as being used anywhere on the glove box door, only the Suede Finish paint - code VAC38X9 - (Satin Black) is listed. The metal inside glove box door looks like suede to me and the outside looks like a satin gloss. Anyone run into this and have a clue which paint I need to buy?
Thanks!
