As I recall it is 30%.

I got the information out of the Nolan Adam's book. Can't find the book right now to verify.

If someone else does not confirm, I hunt up my copy.

Good luck'

Shows ya how little I know about C1 cars. I thought the paint/gloss on top of the dash was the same as the rest of the body. Good thing I wasn't the 1st to answer the question.

I believe that is 30gloss rather that 30% mixing ratio. Read the lable on the flattening agent to see what mixing ratio. Then shoot a test panel to see if it is what you desire.
