I have my console taken apart and I want to paint it the correct black. I'm thinking that the body of the console should be 60% gloss and the shift plate 100% gloss. Would that be correct? I have a black deluxe interior.

I Thought I recall the body of the console as being 30% gloss....same as the top of the dash?

Good question I painted mine gloss black it looks good but was it suposed to be? I did find that you cant use much paint unless you strip the old. It seems to fill the grain easy and become to smooth looking.

Look at this thread and search "oven cleaner" you will get lots of good advise.

okay, I will go with a 30% gloss for the console body.

How about the shift plate? should that also be 30% gloss in the center area?
:beers:

I did mine in rustoleum satin black. I think it is the right sheen..But did not have to paint around the shifter

I got her painted. I'm still trying to track down the console hinge and spring though.

Let me know if you find the arm and spring for the console. I have not painted mine yet, but I need those parts also.

Very nice, by the way!

You can get parts for these several places. NPD has the hinge (#10242) and the spring (#12016) for the console door. Your console looks great.

O.K. dum question... how does one buy 30% gloss paint? Is this a custom mix? I'm needing to do my 67 interior dash (black interior) and need advise on the acquiring the paint.

The spring and arm are for 68-69 consoles but they sure do look similar. And for $10 I am willing to give it a try. Unless someone out there has already tried it.

For 30% gloss try semi flat black "Krylon 1613"
or Rustoleum satin black#7777

I could not find those here in Canada so I used
Plastikote T-8 Satin black 70% or
Plastikote T-3 hotrod black which is a 50%. I'm guessing on the Plastikote glossiness but I definitely know that the hotrod black is much less glossier
