Default Need interior paint mixed

I have had no luck with local paint suppliers to get a quart of 0% laquer.
My trim code is 252 (1969)
Dupont # 9583L
Ditzer # 13767
RM # 169C77

Anybody out there give me a lead or some help? Thanks

I had the same problem with my '67 this Summer. Had Napa mix some up but it was too glossy.

Ames now has correct interior paint. It is very touchy regarding humidity and flash time, but looks right.

In the GTO resto guide (Paul Z.) it lists two paint formulas for the interior, one at 30% and the other at 0%. I assume the steering column was 30% and the remainder of the hard plastic trim parts close to 30% as they have very little gloss, an example would be the underdash a/c ductwork etc.
I am not an expert by any means but do take the concensous of the board members any go with that. In more cases than not the majority is usually right!
