Suede?? I always wondered how that texture was achieved, learn something new everyday.

I reproduced the correct texture for the dash top by using cans of semi-gloss and spraying from two feet above (dry spraying??) and letting the mist settle on the dash a little at a time letting it dry for a few minutes in between coats. It gave me a nice matte non-reflective finish like orig. If you spray one spot too much it will go glossy and you'll have to let dry and start misting it again.
