I have the metal dash to paint on a 71 challenger. I would like it to be close to the original but i can't find any cross reference to the book listed interior paint code of AB61DX9. It was not originally a black interior so i have no physical reference either. My shop just wants to use ppg hot rod black with a flattening agent in the clear but I have no idea what percentage to add.
I'm at the same impasse for the black on the grille . The repo came unpainted. I have seen 20% flattening agent suggested for this on another post.
Thoughts?

I had my 1970 Duster dash frame powder coated with a fine grain suede finish that was an exact match to the original texture and color. I'm sure that the cost of blasting and powder coating was less than buying a quart of the original paint.

If you are going for any semblance of originality, base coat, clear coat will never look the same as the old single stage.
You really need to find a single stage paint. Or the powder coating sounds interesting.
