    I am working on my 67 skylark and want to paint all the semi gloss/satin black inside my car. Top of dash, face of dash, tops of doors and quarter windows and around the package shelf/rear window.
    I also need to paint my steering column to match.

    Are the SEM rattle can paints any good for this? Since your arm rests on top of the door, it has to be a good quality paint.

    Are those surfaces topped with a satin clear coat, or are they just sprayed on in the factory one and done?

    Doing everything at once with a spray gun is the best system, but I rarely seem to have enough time at once to prep, paint, clean gun and equipment etc.

    This is going to be a resto-mod, I'm not trying to stay factory original, but I just want a simple, easy and durable product to paint all the steel inside the interior.

    Thanks for all suggestions, even the once that tell me rattle cans are for adolescents and their bicycles.

    Go on Auto Color library to get exact color. If it’s black that’s easy. Just use Krylon. That’s lacquer based like original. Don’t use Enamel it is not forgiving like Lacquer. Top of Dash was dead flat to avoid glare do not ignore this. Other stuff was semi gloss. What color you have?

    I see now it is black. Very easy. Paint in the shade. Sun coming through windshield will kill it. Take it out all the better
