I purchased some pulsar gray acrylic enamel gray from classic parts and recently started spraying the interior. It lays out nicely however once it dry's the shine flattens out. Is this correct? What are most people using in there trucks? Base coat / clear coat or acrilyic enamel? Thanks for the info.

I used PPG DCC paint and had no code; but, I had enough "protected paint" under a seat frame. PPG made a match for me. Send me a PM on Sun/Mon to remind me to look for the code. Here is a photo of the dash. Here is another photo.
