Hey guys, sorry...YES the "Essentials" product I was referring to is the Delfleet Essential Line from PPG. I had to confirm with my friend who painted my hood. He would just say "Essenitals" so that is where there was some confusion. Hopefully I can provide a product number or code for the exact product he used and how he mixes it soon.
I was told over the phone that the Delfleet Essential product that was used on both my hoods was their "Satin Black" color. I cannot find a satin black option or product code anywhere for the Essential line. Maybe someone can post their results with the flat black. If someone finds a source for Satin Black, please post it here.
