Interior Trim Paint
Hey guys,
Having the removable hardtop repainted and the painter just called and asked what sheen paint was correct for the interior trim. We both thought that it was satin but I wanted to be sure. The car is silver on silver so I am having the headliner and trim (which the previous owner had black) changed to silver. Looking forward to your answers!

I think I remember that it is just unpolished body color. I say that because I polished mine years ago only to find out that, along with a million other things on my car, is not NCRS correct.
If I am mistaken someone will correct me.

Typically painted in a semi-gloss (around 60-70% gloss level) to provide a subtle sheen without being overly reflective.

See my post #3 in this thread from 2009. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...or-colors.html
Interior paint for Corvette was in two gloss levels: 3% and 60%. You can see where each gloss level was used in the interior from the linked thread. I used to have all this info in my files, but files were thrown out when I moved last year and downsized. This is best I can do today.
Gloss level 3% is essentially flat. Gloss level 60% is essentially unbuffed lacquer.
