    Since you're asking for a rattle can product, I'd suggest SEM Trim Black, which would most likely be available at your local auto body supply or Eastwood carries it. It produces a sheen close to the original depending on how it's applied. Remember that satin or semi-gloss sheens can vary depending on how they're applied.

    Hope that helps,

    Good suggestion - to add a little the sheen can also be effected by the weather and temp this time of year ;)

    I tried the Rustoleum SATIN and it worked pretty well, but I may have been lucky.

    That's an excellent point. Since it's just the glovebox door, you should be able to paint it in an area that's warm (70-ish degrees?) or since you're in CA, wait for decent weather. Dry weather should be best.

    I see you live in Trabuco Canyon. So do I. (the car is new to me) where do you take your car to have it worked on? I work for Meguiar's so I know Bob Stockwell and Norm Jesh from COCOA ...those guys told me about Glenn's Alignment and the Classic Mustang place on Fabricante ... I have a vibration issue over 60mph and I sure need to have that looked at. Thank you for your help. Mike K.

    For the vibration, you might want to try Clark's House of Suspension in Lake Forest.

    26901 VISTA TERRACE
    LAKE FOREST
    (949) 768-6261

    He only takes appointments, but he's really good. He's is the same general area as Quigley's Auto Body.

    Mustangs and American Classics on Fabricante is good, but parts prices can't compete with the big mail order companies. His people skills take a little getting used to (i.e. don't expect a warm welcome). He's very knowledgable and has owned/restored several Shelby's.

    PM me if you'd like more info.

    Good luck,
    Josh
