Anybody has pictures of their interiors in glossy paint?
My car is a slight restomod...and to make it a tad flashier...I'm leaning towards glossy black on the interior metal...but I need to see a few pics here first...pretty please...lol.
I also don't want to go the spray can route...my painter will give it the "gun" treatment...and will add clearcoat for extra protection.
Ok, satin and semi-gloss purists...let me have it...lol.

No pics at the moment, but I flattened it at first then glossed it on recoats as it looked dead. Dash, a pillars, inside area of doors, rear kick panels. The gloss black is nice with one exception - the rear kick panels beside the rear seat are a bit overkill in gloss. They stand out and need a bit less gloss due to their size. It's not enough to do over as I still like the overall results, but if done again...

Ok...I had some metal test-painted...and it was too glossy for my interior...lol.
Ok...I'll give in...I will use satin spray cans.
How many cans will I need?
I'm painting the console, doors, rear quarter panels...but I'm using bedliner for the floor panels.
Two, three, four cans?
Thanks!

get 5, i hate running out of spary paint when i have a small section left, also your going to want to do multiple coats, then spray it with a couple clear coats (they also have this in a can) the more layers of paint and clear you have the tougher it will be.
i suggest 3 coats of paint and 4 coats of clear.
