Hello All
Does anyone know ....does the dash panel have a texture in the paint for a 1970 challenger?

Anyone please help!!!!  I have conflicting info.

The metal dash frame is a suede paint if that is what you mean?

What is suede paint?

[Alaskan_TA]

Suede is "low gloss". Not as flat at flat or matte paint, but it has less gloss than-semi gloss. 

Check the backs of these two 1970 paint chip charts for the suede colors;

They do say Chrysler & Plymouth but the paints are the same for your two Dodges.

is there a "texture" to the paint, or is it smooth to the touch?

I used jewel black for my 70 cuda.It turned out nice.Sems trim black paint in the can is good paint.It goes on nice.

Where can I purchase the SEM spray paint for the dash parts - suede finish jewel black?
Been looking online and its not easy to find in this color/finish.
Thanks.

Go to a auto paint store.They can mix it up.

I used the SEM trim black in the rattle can on mine and it turned out great.

I had painted mine (70 CHallenger )flat black, but it marked too easily so I painted it SEM trim black and it looks great

[tommyg29]

But will an auto paint store mix it up in a spray can for me? I would think that would be an "off the shelf" item. Unless the suede part needs to be special mixed into the black.

Go with the sem trim black out of the can.It looks the same as jewel black.

Ok, so no suede finish, just the plain trim black... should give the desired flat and durable finish.
Thanks. I'll make a couple calls around to find it.

I just did mine, was green suede and hard to find, but was a exact match from a small portion that was still orginal, got it from Kolor Korrect/Mopaint @ 732-846-1044, went on good but is expensive.
