Hello. It's supposed to be a semi-gloss. I guess that it would depend on how serious you plan on getting with this. For rattle cans, the Dupli-color stuff works fine. It looks good and hangs on pretty well.

To keep from filling the grain, I found it best to strip off the old paint down to bare metal. Use a light coat of a good metal etching primer then moderately spray on your topcoat.

I just did my 88 notch and what i used was Bulldog adhesion promoter and SEM Color Coat that works great for interior.

i agree with Boomyal. get a dremal with a wire brush and strip every bit of paint so that you can fully see the texture. Then prime and paint it. its pretty hard to fill in the texture unless you go way overboard. but dont be afraid to give it a couple of coats.

I really do recommend a chemical stripper. That eliminates the chance of distorting the texture and it will get the paint out of the 'grooves' more thoroughly.

I just did my rear interior side panels this weekend, sail panels I think they're called. I sand blasted the parts. This gets all the paint and under lying rust removed and makes the surface much more porous than striping with a wire wheel which can actually have a polishing affect. I thought about chem stripper, but prefered to get that porous effect from sand blasting. Then hit it with a very light coat of etching primer, let dry for 20-30 minutes, then put a light coat of rustoleum engine enamel (gloss), waited 45 minutes and added the second coat. This would have probably been enough, but I still had some paint in the can so I misted it to get more of the semi-gloss finish. I couldn't find engine enamel in semi-gloss. They turned out real nice. We'll have to wait to see how the endure in the long run.
