SEM Paint is what I recommend

+1 more for SEM. I have not had a chance to fully do my interior yet, but I did do 1 door panel about 6 months ago. Even the part where your arm rests is still looking brand new. If I had to wager a guess, I'd say it's going to pass the test of time. Unlike so many others.

I've been reading posts off the forum for some time and when Capt and Vile both agree you can take it to the bank. Sem is the way to go and it makes it look original. Duplicolor came out looking rough to the touch. I do think that Vile (correct me if I'm wrong) suggests to use bullydog adhesion spray before you paint. I did both and my interior parts turned out beautiful.

You definitely want to use an adhesion promoter.

What would you guys recommend for cleaning off flaking paint prior to putting down new paint? Id imagine that would need to be done first for best results.

I recommend following this procedure.

Ok, so what shade of black should I use? Semi flat, flat?

Semi flat, but not on the dash, I would use flat personally myself. Just because the glare etc....
