Yes, it is true that GM used a "suede" additive to there paint for the dash top to prevent a glaring affect from oncoming traffic at night or the sun. I have talked to a reputable paint shop on the topic as some of the guys were around was the additive was still available. Most guys didnt use it because who cared then? The closest I have gotten was to have a texture additive mixed into the lacquer and use it as a base coat, then have the flat or semi-flat lacquer applied over top of it to create that "texured" or suede look.
