So what would be the original luster level on this??

Guys, I know I'm splitting hairs here but what would be the correct finish for the "camera case" dashboard trim on my 1961 Sedan? From what I can determine, it was originally a gloss sort of what the wood veneer would look like, where the painted metal is more of a satin. WHich would be correct? My is not only faded, but the sun has turned it greenish!

By "camera case", do you mean glove box?

If it's the same as the 63, check out my website.

Thanks Stu, great shots of your car. I did figure it out, sort of a soft flat to satin look. I'm good to go now.
Seeing you next week???

John, try a mild paint cleaner like Meguires fine cut cleaner to bring the color back. It may give it more gloss than you want, but in a couple of months, it will be back to the gloss that you want.

Thank Tom but the sun turned the beautiful soft beige green! I ended up using a matte spray the matched the original perfectly
