I wonder if it's a PPG number? I have been using PPG Duracryl #9355 but it's just too gritty.


That is what I have found to be the best solution to this Organisol paint situation. I painted 4 different 6bbl hoods over the years all with trying different thinner levels, temperature , air pressure etc. Always too much grit.

I shot PPG 9355 and used the slowest reducer. I was able to make a normal pass, followed by a pass going across what I just shot. It goes on like primer looking like it will be rough, but it flows out and lays down really nice with the slow reducer. I let it flash and then two more passes, criscrossing. Here is a picture of the results. Not an A12 hood but it is on a plastic bubble and a fiberglass hood scoop. I loved the way it cooperated and turned out. It matches the finish on an original A12 hood dead on.
