Mike I don't know the code for it I just know the hoods did not have the texture that the restored cars have today. Possibly a flat black lacquer with a hot thinner. I got another question. Who painted the hoods the factory or the sub contractor that built the hoods?



Pretty sure the factory painted the hoods......with;

"2183385 Exterior Air Dry Organsol Paint AF5DX8 Black,"

The hoods were made in Canada in Toronto.

And there ls the problem everyone is pretty sure but no one knows for sure. The hoods could have been been painted by the supplier possibly the factory. Could have been organisol or possibly the paint they used for the blackout on the front of the cars. Until someone finds someone that was involved in the building of the cars and painting of the hoods, I will have to believe in what I found on the A12 car I purchased in 1974 and the original hoods I bought over the years. A flat black paint with little to no texture.

Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.
