I am rebuilding my car from ground up and need to know the proper black paint to use for all interior pieces. I would like all the parts to match. The parts would include the parking brake, underdash brackets, lower dash, glove box door, ect. What Krylon # is correct? I heard the Rust Oleum Satin black is close. I want a nice semi-gloss or satin shine. Thanks.
Proper Black Interior Paint?

Mustangs Unlimited has the correct interior black paint. I couldn't find it anywhere locally. I used the Rust-Oleum exterior satin black for under the hood. It takes a long time to dry but is tough as nails with two coats. I also used it underneath, after I sandblasted the bottom. I didn't like the primer look.
This isn't really pertinant to the OP's question, but regarding slow dry times for rust oleum paint noted by gaponyfarm. If you need something to dry faster try Rust Oleum "Professional" High Performance Enamel. I've used it to paint side mirrors and some other faded exterior trim on another car.
Got all my interior paint (& dye) from NPD. Looks really good, and though originality/correctness were not really high on my list, they are supposed to be the correct colors.

NPD isn't the brand of the paint. NPD is National Parts Depot. They put out a great catalog and I've probably spent 2,500 hassle-free dollars with them. The can says "OMNI-PAK" on it.
Whatever that is, I consider NPD a good source.As far as durability, I repainted my interior 8 or 9 months ago, and so far its wearing very well. I think paint in general is always going to be somewhat fragile, so I'd be careful tossing your golf clubs in the back seat.
