Hi, I am re doing the interior on my 66 ss and am a little confused on what gets painted shiny and what gets low gloss. I know the seat backs and sides get low gloss and probably the console too. does the dash, steering column and wheel and door tops all get painted shiny. anyone know for sure??

It isnt a gloss. it what they calling a 60% or so gloss. Here is a list of interior paints.

thanks for the paint numbers. I wonder if anyone can tell me what gets painted with what sheen? I am pretty sure the steering wheel, column and dash get 100% gloss. but my car is from Ariz and the insides are so sunburned that it is hard to tell. do the seat backs get 60% gloss?

Dash, steering wheel and door tops are all the same. It isn't glossy. All the paint listed. My first 7 cars were 66 chevelles and all of them were the same. I didn't and neither did anybody else care about being factory back then. I was painting it all gloss as soon as I got them.

Got me on the seat question tho. Back then they were new enough interiors and were still good. So I never had to mess with that. Moses and I used to comment on that after he was done at the river.
