Default Opinions on this Suede Paint...

What do you guys think about the suede paint on this dash... does it look pretty close to the original texture?

I think it looks pretty good, I thought that it may not be a flat enough sheen, the texture looks damn close though... I am going to compare it to the original on the dash of my 68 GTO...

Old post, I know. Do you want to share how that texture was achieved?

If not, then can one of you restoration guru's share? I am getting ready to paint the dash on my 69 Camaro.

Nobody is trying to replicate the suede paint look?
