Interior paint acrylic emanel (enamel) vs Acrylic Urethane
« on: April 23, 2024, 01:17:43 PM »
I am looking to paint the dash, doors... of the interior of my 1964.5 convertible with blue Code 82 interior.  I was talking with the guys at TCP global and they gave two options acrylic Enamel and Acrylic Urethane.  He told me the advantages and disadvantages of both.  But what I am most concerned with is matching the original sheen.  Is there one of these paints that matches the original sheen better than the other?

Thank you,

Corey

Modern urethanes are usually the most preferable.  Go with a single stage and have it flattened to something like an eggshell/satin appearance.  Original was lacquer, but it doesn't hold up very well with use.. ring/watch scratches, shoe scuffs.
