So after visiting with my body guy he feels the face of the dash and all parchment paint was likely a full gloss when originally sprayed in lacquer from the factory and the lack of polishing is what would give it a look of less gloss and of course flatten over time. His feeling is that GM probably wouldn't have kept big batches of paint strictly for the interior pieces since efficiency on the assembly line was the focus. He might have a point, I am curious what others might think.

Since it appears that the parchment was actually cameo ivory, then it seems it would make sense further that it would be the exact same paint that they were spraying on the exterior which would be a gloss finish. Then the dash was probably the same starlight black they would use on the exterior of the car.

Thoughts?
