Opinions on this Suede Paint...

[owners2]

From the pics i would say it looks rather good. How do you like it ?

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...

I have to say that that looks pretty close to what I have done on my Nova. LOOKS GOOD!

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?

Usually a texture additive mixed into the paint.

This was an ongoing process and took a little experimentation.
Here is what I did... but I would suggest you spray some test panels before jumping off the deep end.
I used a textured rustoleum paint spray can available at Lowes for the suede effect.
Initially it was too rough and had what in my opinion was a little too much sheen. SO I sprayed (from a gun) FLAT black over the top which filled in the pits a little and evened out sheen... (I didn't take any photos of this yet)
