Default Re: 69 Nova dash paint

Thanks for posting the info! The guys at this PPG shop seem to know that the original additive for the "suede" look was discontinued a long time ago. I used a texture additive to give it that texture like feel and then added the semiflat over top of that. It turned out pretty well. I think the DMA364 is the texture additive that they used on the blazer tops of the early 70's. Thats what I used if its the same. Once you get two coats of the flat over top of it, it feels and looks like the original. But how close is close enough when the original formula's can't make up the paint without the original pigments? I am using the Dark Blue for the interior on my 70 Nova.
