Thx. I would put it somewhere between a semi and matte, def not gloss but some sheen. Im sure you could put a coat of clear over it if you wanted it glossy or hit it with a can of matte to go backwards.

Have the top prepped, sitting in the garage. Will be using the same stuff, thinned out a bit and sprayed on.

Hope to get to that soon. No rush, temps will be 85-90* and clear for the next month or so :)

You're not really going white with the rest of it are you? It looks good just like it is. I think it would be better left alone than white too.

Still needs some minor touch up, but inside is done. Color is supposed to me Matte Aluminum. Not quite as "matte" as I was expecting, but will go well with the grey-blue interior.

On to the top, which is already prepped. Going black and taking it over the cab (that needs prep)...faux vert style.
