I am going to be painting the plastic front seat backs on my 79 T/A. Do I use flat, satin or semigloss paint? I would think that the original sheen that the plastic had is more like a satin.
Thanks,
Warren

I believe if you get the die from a professional paint store. They will mix it up to factory specs for you. Most of them will mix them up & put it in a spray can for you. I have had some done it camel tan,
& it had a satin gloss finish. It looked nice.
