After seeing yours now I am not so scared of painting a gloss in there, after all it is my car...
Are you done with your convertible? Looks like you did a similar restoration to mine.
The way I look at it the Stangs are kind of a dime a dozen car, they're nice but there's lots of them out there so I'm quite content to make mine a restomod. I've shaved all emblems and of course the engine bay color plus a few other minor changes. I don't think it hurts the value so if that's what I like so be it.
I'm not sure what silver smoke grey looks like exactly but, for me anything looks better than flat black.
Nope not done mine, I've done almost all the sheet metal work but still wrestling with the front clip, had to go to a dynacorn repop fender and it's been a ton of work to get right. I'm getting close on it and then I have to fix the dynacorn shelby hood which is a 1/4" too narrow and doesn't line up with the headlight bezels correctly, so a bunch of glass work to do
I hope to be painting it by spring at the latest. Trunk, engine bay and jambs are painted and I have all the new suspension, motor and trans in so I am slowly getting there. Mine was a disaster when I started, replaced almost all the sheet metal
