Ii have a local paint store custom mix the vinyl dye for older interiors. I have them match it to a nice piece and they take into account the factory finish and the various resins to give you different gloss finishes, etc. So I shoot for the surface finish that gives you a factory finish which if I remember correctly is a medium gloss resin. Cans are about $35 each and two cans is usually enough to do one pickup interior. I restore gbody interiors so trucks are no different for me. I would always rather restore original GM pieces that buy aftermarket.
