Message	I am refinishing the door cards which have UV damage. I tried bringing the color back out with a heat gun but it didn't seem to be effective. Next I re-shot them with Duplicolor interior paint (charcoal) but it is too light, also too matte. SEM has a charcoal metallic, but it seems wrong to use a metallic here. Hi-tech has a "dark charcoal" that I think may be the best bet, but would really appreciate some first hand experience here.
