I want to say the black paint used by the factory on the tail panel area was textured organisol paint. And you are 100 percent correct. Problem is Organisol was reproduced in many versions, so is tough to choose a suitable paint now.

That's all good except they forgot the flake. 4 parts DCC 9355 3 parts DT reducer 1 part DCX 61 hardener 1 part DX 685 flattening additive ¼ ounce (per pint of mixed paint) DX 1999 texture additive So help us out and list the flake you would use and the amount of it to make this formula work for all of us? Thanks

My 70 Cuda is also in the paint shop nearly ready for color. Since I'm personally not looking for a perfectly accurate textured organisol look, I'm using a product called "Essentials". This will be my third time using this product and I much prefer it over the original organisol due to cost and ease of care. Below you can see a photo of my A12 hood painted with Essentials. At the end of the article that MoparMike linked, they actually try using another affordable product called SEM Trim Black, which they modified to get a similar look to organisol with great results. Point being, if you're willing to forego actual organisol, you've got options! And in my opinion your wallet and future-self will thank you every time you dry your car after washing it. [/url] I'm using the Essentials (pictured here on my old Roadrunner) on my Cuda's rear tail panel, AAR spoiler, hood, and even the car's dash frame. The Essentials has a satin sheen, not flat, and is smooth to the touch. It's scratch resistant and easy to dry.

Migs - judging by teh way the size is listed on his website, I'd guess it's a pint can - not an aerosol.
More than enough for a couple 'Cuda tail panels. When I did mine, I used 4oz and had plenty left over. When I did my grill and front valance with Totally Auto aerosol cans, I used 1 full and about a quarter of another can.
