Interior paint acrylic emanel (enamel) vs Acrylic Urethane
(1/1)
Corey Bowcutt:
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
CharlesTurner:
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.
